Mantas, I think you are right that openbox can call oblogout, but my existing
oblogout is trying to call shutdown, halt, hibernate etc etc and aren't those
the things that HandlePowerKey is supposed to protect? I suppose there are dbus
messages that can be used with consolekit, but that's just the more capable
daemon again. Currently my oblogout is doing nasty things like sudo shutdown ie
it gives itself super powers in a rather brutal way.
