OK, I can see how that would work on a standalone desktop or on an LTSP 
terminal server.

But my main problem here is with the terminal clients.  And if I look at 
dmesg on a client, isn't that just going to tell me if ACPI is running 
on the server?  Or is ACPI running on the server supposed to support 
turning off client machines?  (And if the latter is the case, then 
adding acpi=force in Grub might be all I need?)
