qwerty12, Is there somewhere where this modification is detailed for a linux newbie like me who has gone a pretty good way at executing step-by-step directions for the Tablet. (It seems stupid on Nokia's part not to include an out-of-the-factory setting where you can BOTH shut off the screen AND lock the keypad.) BTW, I've already done the change where I now see "reboot" and "soft poweroff" etc when I press the power button.

Also, do you know of a software button for opening the shutdown menu? I wish there were one. I hate it when I want to lock the keypad or reboot and I accidentally press the power button too hard and end up shutting down by accident.
