k, then make it work the other way around. if defined(WITHOUT_GDM_APM).
it just seems to me that, well, there's a reason that 'halt -p' isn't
the system's default halt action.

see, that's the problem. apm IS disabled on that machine. i'm happy to
assume that it's an anomaly on my machine then. assuming that is indeed
the case, i retract all the associated bitching and moaning ::)
