** Summary changed: - Terrible Default for HandlePowerKey + Please change default HandlePowerKey value

This is a terrible default, because this poweroff action does not ask for any confirmation whatsoever, encouraging data loss. The power key does get pressed inadvertently from time to time: - It's usually also the resume-from-suspend key, so if you thought you had suspended the computer but in fact it only locked after inactivity, you could press the power key to resume, only to find that you just nuked your session. - On many laptops, the power button is close to backspace. A single slip of your pinky nukes your session. Each of these mishaps can result in loss of unsaved data, and/or data corruption if some background task is running that doesn't expect to get killed in the middle. This is an especially terrible user experience for novices who have little prior exposure to system setting files, who will likely have a hard time fixing it. This is not a sensible default. Please at least show confirmation for this poweroff action by default, or if that's difficult to do, make the default more benign, like ignore or lock.
