Well, I'm not sure exactly how soft poweroff failed; it was a while ago when I switched to powerlaunch, but I haven't got powerlaunch installed yet in Diablo. The soft-poweroff seems to work, both by double-tapping power (which is cool) and by selecting from the menu (although sometimes the menu won't come up; I think that's related to prereleaseness of systemui, but I really haven't looked into it). I had never known about systemui.xml back when I used it; all I edited before was mce.ini, which also seems expanded. (Maybe I'm remembering from OS2007...)

How exactly is soft-poweroff "completely non-functional"?
