Many users out there will be using KDE or Gnome for their day-to-day Linux usage, so want have any problems shutting down their PC. How-ever I recently set-up and terminal-only machine as a kinda adhoc NAS device and found there is no easy way of to shutdown or restart the computer with out using the sudo command and entering your password to become root. So this is how I got around the problem, by removing the need for the sudo password.
Having lived in a Windows environment for the past couple of years I've gotten somewhat used to my routines and short cuts, most of which are missing or changed now that I'm 95% Ubuntu. The most notable absentee are all the extra buttons on my Logitech MX Revolution mouse, which I have mapped to a vast array or custom key stroked. So, lest I forget, this is how I have got these custom buttons working correctly.
