I don't know of any other way of handling the power button event at init 3. I used to install acpid, like you, for this reason but I stopped as I hardly spend any time at the command prompt nowadays. So what I do now is alter /etc/inittab so that it handles ctrl alt del by shutting down instead of rebooting: ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/halt When X is running I have my window manager (Openbox) handle pressing the power button (xev says it is XF86PowerOff) by running a script which (after it's tidied up a few things) calls /sbin/halt.
