So it sounds like there *is* a real bug in kde and XFCE. This is not in
fact a bug in upstart however, as it is doing exactly as each name
implies. Halting is an uncommon but real need for some systems where one
wants to specifically stop the kernel and everything, and then do a hard
reset without powering off. So whats needed is for KDE and XFCE to pass
-P to shutdown, and possibly for whatever handles the power button do do
the same.
