Thanks, useful to know!

The only reference I could find to this is in the SDK headers (/usr/include/mce/dbus-names.h specifically). Is there any other documentation?

IMHO there's no reason why shutdown couldn't also send an appropriate dbus signal (shutdown_ind perhaps?) via one of the init scripts' stop stanza (/etc/init.d/mce may be a good choice). Care to open a bug?
