Search "Reboot button for noobs" or something like that. You can add a reboot button to your power key menu.

Quick guide...
1. Install rootsh package if you haven't already.
2. In X Terminal, 'sudo gainroot' without quotes.
3. In your favorite text editor, as root, open /etc/systemui/systemui.xml and edit it.

<!-- Any text--> is commented out, ignored by system.
Each <tag> must have corresponding closing </tag>

Don't delete files or folders, and you will be fine.

4. When you have finished with this file, save it.
5. Not-as-root, in X Terminal: 'killall systemui' without quotes. Or just shut down - turn back on.

Now press power key to see what the menu looks like.

N900 should reboot, I did ask on another thread for an app but no developer seemed interested as playing with systemui files cam be slightly risky
Here, the details of the risks:
