[Bug 1306912] [NEW] Power button always shuts down the system in Linux Mint 16 KDE

[Mauro]

Public bug reported:

This bug is related to bug #1184831.

In Linux Mint 16 KDE the shutdown button always shuts down the system, instead of respecting what I've chosen in my KDE settings.
The reason is in: /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
This scripts tests if there are some daemons running, more or less one for each of the main window managers (Cinnamon, Gnome, Mate, etc.): it it finds one, it doesn't do anything, otherwise it shuts down the system.
In particular it searches for kpower, which I suppose was a KDE daemon related to power management. However in my system I have no kpower at all. So, I added the following line:

PMS="$PMS kdeinit4"

just after the other "PMS=..." definitions and now the system behaves as
expected.

However, I'm not sure if checking for kdeinit4 is the best choice, or if
I should better check for another more appropriate running process.
