I've not tested (so modify at your own risk), but I _think_ that you can
modify the Ctrl-Alt-Delete setting in /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete to
use shutdown -H instead of it's default setting:

So perhaps modifing the last line to read:
 exec /sbin/shutdown -H now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"

*Maybe* that will at least give you a quick & easy way to 'shutdown -H'.

Again, I've not tested & won't be able to for a few more hours. If you'd
like to wait for awhile (I'm working on customers Win machines just now)
I'll test it for you on one of my test machines.

I'm pretty sure it is possible, but unfortunately I don't have any idea
of how to do it (just yet).
