You can program any button to do any task in linux/Bash/KDE/whatever. Its called key-bindings. I use alt-control-delete to bring up a password protected xscreensaver.

It is possible on some laptops through ACPI.
Among other things it depends on your hardware and the way ACPI is configured.
It works here (Lenovo Thinkpad T61).

In fact, I was asked by my friend, who freshly installed Slackware on his desktop computer, about whether keyboard power button works on Slackware 13.37 as in Ubuntu 11.04 or not. His desktop computer's main board is VGA Integrated
Intel DG965WH Desktop Board for
Core2 Duo Processors. He uses Logitech's PS2 media keyboard with power button on the upper right corner. He said that his desktop computer's keyboard power button was functioning with Ubuntu 11.04. Is there a configuration file like "xorg.conf" to add parameters for keyboard power button on Slackware?
Again thanks for your deal.
