</div>Think the students need to learn how to use shutdown option in sugar,<br>

</div>I don't think there is a way for olpc's powerd to inform sugar that the XO<br>
is powering down. I'm pretty sure SoaS/sugar desktop is in the same boat,<br>
you tell sugar to shutdown the computer and that process uses dbus to tell<br>
the OS but nothing in sugar is listening for a dbus shutdown signal from<br>
outside of sugar to start an orderly shutdown.<br>
