@clint-fewbar #14 - yes, I would say that that is the case. It looks to my inexpert eye that the -P option is NOT part of the poweroff options in /usr/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper. What bothers me is the inconsistent nature of using the physical switch to initiate a shut down. I don't see why that sometimes works, as I thought is simply called xfsm-shutdown-helper.
