You could disable the logout dialog so that when the user closes his session it always ends with tdm/loghtdm/xdm and then use the *xm dialog to shutdown or press the power button to shut down in the first place. I did choose this aproach for all my systems.

How do you do that?
I've unticked the "offer shutdown options" in the session manager. It does remove everything but "logout", but then the user is back at the login screen and needs to find how to shutdown.
There is no power button on this "machine" (it's an UpBoard, for information), so that solution is not available.
I've tried modifying /etc/sudoers to let the user run poweroff, but it does not work (MX-25, Trixie based).
