I was asking about an E - Mac, not an i - Mac. I know, it's easy to miss the one-letter difference, and having the two machines lumped together in one forum, away from the other Mac forums, and the much higher popularity of the iMac...
And I think the keyboard I have with the power button came from an iMac. Your answer raised another question for me. Shouldn't that power button be able to turn ON various iMacs, and at that point (before it's even on), shouldn't it work no matter what system is running?
