Configuring the power button menu

To start or focus an application in N900, you can simply hit the bottom right corner (if in full screen mode), hit the top left screen some times to get to app list/desktop/task manager, scroll to the correct desktop page or position in app list if needed, find the correct icon and tap it. Unless, of course, you happen to have a full screen Debian app where you'd open the keyboard and type Ctrl+space first, or some unresponsive app that won't react to the bottom right corner app where you'd, well, wait and hope the situation isn't over when you get there. What could be easier?

Found that sometimes a bit difficult while biking and was looking for better solutions. One major enhancement being mapping the camera focus button to the task manager/dashboard with camkeyd/shortcutd, that made one handed task switching a lot easier. Then I was looking at the etc/systemui/systemui.xml file to add a reboot entry in the menu and noticed actually any function can be added so there I had the quick menu I had wished for:


Instructions for creating menu entries I have already written to Maemo Talk here so I'll not replicate them here, lets have this entry just a pointer there.
