Hey there,

I'm running ubuntu 8.10 on a Thinkpad laptop.

When I hold down the laptop's power button for about one second the menu 'Shut Down the Computer' appears and I can chose to shut down, restart, suspend, etc...
I personally find it annoying that I need to hold the button, instead of the menu coming up immediately when I press it.
Is there a way I can make the Shut Down menu appear immediately when I press the power button?

cheers!
