[Bug 1525164] [NEW] Allow to configure power button behaviour

 

Public bug reported:

It would be nice if one could change the behaviour of the power button
in Unity greeter, for example to immediately shutdown the computer when
the power button is pressed instead of asking in a dialog box. (dconf
option?)

We would really like this feature in our institution as our operators
are cleaning the computer pools and are used to just pushing to the
power button to shutdown the computers.

** Affects: unity-greeter (Ubuntu)
