You write:


In the "General" Tab, set it to:
"When the power button is pressed:  Shutdown"


But I dont have any option "Shutdown". There is only one option, and it says "Ask 
me". So how can I allow my girlfriend to shutdown the computer?

Try to start the application with root privileges.

$ pfexec /usr/bin/gnome-power-preferences

It may also have something to do with I believe ACPI and communication to the computer bios.

If all fails, do what I use to do.

Right-Click in the panel area and select "Add to Panel"
Double-Click on "Create Custom Launcher"
Add the entry "pfexec /usr/sbin/init 5"
Select the Icon of your choice, I used /usr/share/icons/blueprint/48x48/apps/gnome-shutdown.png. You may not have this as I copied these icons over from an SXCE install.
