Thanks, Slávek. I noted it but didn't understand it. :-( Sorry. So I
googled and got myself in a mess.
I have just been trying with the links offered on the desktop, which I
understand a bit better now that I have been struggling with that script.
I'll definitely look at your suggestion now. But as I am in fact almost there
with the desktop link via the right-click on the desktop approach (I have
just successfully shut it down by clicking on an icon! Just the wrong icon.)
I might try to finish that for now and look at this as well! Especially now
you have given me more information.
Thank you very much.

I am just not icon-minded. And my scripting days seem to be behind me. :-(

I'm not sure if you've noted my link to using dcop:

The easy way:
Add this line to /etc/sudoers:
%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff
You might want to change change "%users" to the name of the user.
Otherwise anybody in the "users"-group is allowed to do power off.
I'll worry about this later - I looked and everything seems to be
allowed, and I haven't yet got as far as being asked for a password!!
Now crate a Shortcut on the Desktop that executes
"sudo
/sbin/poweroff"
I got this far (see below), but it isn't working for various different
reasons. Corrections? Anyone?
I get an icon (the wrong one!) and the launcher opens up and asks for
an application or a URL. (I started with Type=Command, and that was an
even deader loss.)
I shall cross-post to the Debian list, because I am up against time,
but I promise to report solutions! (If I am offered any!)
[Desktop Entry]
