No, I'd abandoned the regular System UI menu long ago in favor of the much-more-convenient softpoweroff.

Yes, I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm happy to access ASUI just by tapping the battery applet.

And wow, that was fast work! I downloaded the test binary (or at least I think I did) and the new checkbox appears to be exactly what I'm looking for. However, for some reason, even though it's checked, when I push the power button, it still just brings up the ASUI interface rather than locking/blanking. This is true after restarting ASUI, and after rebooting entirely. And one other thing I just noticed (in case it helps in troubleshooting)...with that new setting enabled, there seems to be a bit of a delay in getting to the ASUI screen after I push the power button. If I uncheck the new setting, this delay goes away.

Could it be I didn't install properly? To install the latest binaries, I went into xterm and (as root) ran these commands:

asui ds

asui dt

Neither reported any errors. Is there something else I need to do?
