Uh... Are people really rebooting their devices that often that a dedicated app is required? Why? Switching off and on using the power button can't be that hard if you have to do it for example once in a week.

Excellent.
Now does someone know the commant to use instead of reboot to call up the desktop when the power button is pressed?
I´m using sygic in full screen mode and always press the phone icon to get to whatever else I want, but it´d be nicer just to get a power-button shortcut to the desktop.
@ Frank - nice one, finally someone who recognises that sometimes noob instructions are called for. I still don't understand the relevance of a wiki, or even where that description came from. I also didn't know until yesterday that the linux penguin was called Tux. I am, to all intents and purposes, and without shame, a n00b. So thanks Frank. They weren't wrong when they said talk to Frank.

This is funny...I thought I followed the instructions, and now as well as having a reboot key, I have a "Top in Xterm " button and a "Soft Poweroff" button. The soft power off button makes my device behave strange, whats it meant to do?

@bret hart - you moved (or removed) the <--- 's too far down.

i need to acces the menu with internet/availability settings quite often

the power button menu is really limited ....

Is there a way to close all windows, as well as kill all the processes so its like I just booted my device?
