Power button shuts down brutally when KDE 4.2 running

Bug Description

Binary package hint: acpid

When KDE 4.2 is running, pressing Power Button causes brutal system shutdown because /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh doesn't properly recognize KDE 4.2, so it won't result in displaying a KDE shutdown box, but will start a system shutdown sequence.

/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh should just do nothing when KDE 4.2 is running, for KDE's PowerDevil is able to recognize this event and have a corresponding programmable action.

Proposed fix : Just add the following line close to the beginning of /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh :

pidof plasma > /dev/null && exit 0

(Fix tested and working)
