Take a look in /etc/inittab (line 34). There are two delete keys on my
keyboard plus the powerkey (PowerComputing keyboard). I know that
Ctrl-Alt-powerkey is a thing of last resort (does not shutdown gracefully).
I think using the big Delete key shuts (with ctrl-alt) shuts down the X
server. Using the small one may shutdown the machine in a graceful manner.
I just prefer doing it from the command line.
