Instead of messing with sudo, you can configure the KDE and Xfce power

Ed,

How interesting! I was unaware of this.

For now, rather than remembering to type 'sudo /sbin/halt', she can type
'haltnow' because I put that function in her ~/.bashrc as Paul suggested.
I'll soon learn if that worked. I'll hold (no pun intended) the power button
shutdown in reserve.

As always with linux, there's a plethora of working solutions.

Many thanks,

Rich
