That's a rather roundabout way to execute the reboot command, plus it involves installing an application which is always running. Have you tried just adding a link to the shell script in the application menu?

You can also edit /etc/systemui/systemui.xml and uncomment reboot item so it in not inside <!-- -->.
After one reboot you have 'reboot' item in power key menu. But true that this can't 'reboot your tablet without using the tablet power buttton'.

All I want is a .deb file on the desktop that would,
- xterm
- sudo gainroot
- shutdown -r now
My bb3.sh is a very big roundabout way of doing it to get around the f!@#$$king power on problem. I called the script my poorman's programming. Whatever, it works beautifully, I have reboot it more than 20 times just for fun. Now I do not have the "phobia" of NOT able to power on. I am studying the application manu see whether it will allow me to do similar task w less roundabout. Thanks for both Cashel and Fanoush's suggestion. BTW, this is my "Hello world" for the tablet
.
I also have an Asus EEE running Xandros Linux. Can I use that to compile the .sh into a .deb file and put it on the desktop? Look at the poll, there is more than 25 users having the power on problem.... In fact, maybe a soft reboot should be built-in into the platform in the future tablet release, uh?

open xterm
sudo gainroot
vi /etc/systemui/systemui.xml
position cursor on beginning of comment <!-- above reboot item, enter dd (press d twice) to delete it
position cursor on end of comment -->, enter dd (press d twice) to delete it
enter ZZ (twice shift + z) to save
It is critical to not to mess this file or your tablet will not boot. Do it slowly. Enter :q! to exit vi without saving if you are not sure what you entered.
You may also just move the comment beginning <!-- below the reboot item to leave other items still disabled but it is harder.

Also, if you install rootsh, then you can:
> rootsh shutdown -r now
:-)
> rootsh shutdown -r now
