Ok, the hardware work-around worked for a bit, but now the problem is
back. Clearing my pram didn't help, either. I'm at a loss. The only
thing that helps is taking out the USB peripherals. The thing that has
me is that I honestly doubt it's the externals (signaling the reboot)
because the HUB filtering work-around actually filters boot signals, so
that my keyboard power button doesn't power-on my iMac.

And a dead battery would be causing a power-on problem, not a power-
down/reboot one. So, it must be purely software related at the source
interacting with the keyboard. I have no clue what it might be, although
I have noticed firestarter attempting to start as powering down. The
thing is, I've powered firestarter down  before issuing a shutdown and
it doesn't always prevent a reboot. So, I don't know if it's at fault.
I've also killed the associated xscreensaver daemon before shutting down
without luck.

I'm  grasping at straws here, but I guess it could still be firestarter
caused as it's only a front end to iptables and if's set something amiss
...
