[Bug 878954] [NEW] Powerbtn.sh requires to have a user logged in X to allow a shutdown

[Simon Déziel]

Public bug reported:

While this behavior is generally OK, it can cause problem on virtual
servers where X is installed. If a virtualized guest has X installed and
no user is logged in, the hypervisor cannot cleanly trigger a shutdown
of the guest in question.
