Everytime I restart my debian pc after having turned it off debian tells me
at bootup that devices were not unmounted properly. I don't use any
commands to shutdown debian, I just use the on/off switch when I'm
finished. Apparantly that is a bad idea.

You should always use one of the following (where you need to be root):
$ su -c '/sbin/halt'# To shutdown immediately
$ su -c '/sbin/reboot' # To reboot the machine immediately
$ su -c '/sbin/shutdown '
# To shutdown or reboot sometime in the future
You must be carefu
poweroff
shutdown (with some args, check the man pagesdopn't have my Linux box
infront of me)
reboot
Also check that in /etc/rc.d at the appropriate runlevel you have a umount
script (it's the script that will get executed upon the shutdown to umount
all the partitions).

KDE comes with KDM which has a shutdown function which ordinary users also
can invoke. Seems handy for stand alone PCs, but on a network this might
be dangerous. -- Hans
