The function of kmenu

Hi,
I'musing KDE 3.4.1 and with xbindkeys I want to map the winzozz key with the opening of kmenu (like in win the menu start with the key windows). What is the kde command for the kmenu opening???
Another thing:
I'd want to map the power button of my laptop with the window where is possible to choose to halt or reboot or terminate the session. I've to use an event in acpi or can i make it with xbindkeys??? In both cases what is the function that i've to call, that is the function called by CTRL+ALT+CANC???

The normal logout function can also be reached through dcop:

	Source code
1	dcop ksmserver ksmserver logout confirm sdtype sdmode

, where confirm, sdtype and sdmode are numbers.

This parameters means the following:
confirm:

-1: ShutdownConfirmDefault
0: ShutdownConfirmNo
1: ShutdownConfirmYes

sdtype:

-1: ShutdownTypeDefault
0: ShutdownTypeNone
1: ShutdownTypeReboot
2: ShutdownTypeHalt

sdmode:

-1: ShutdownModeDefault
0: ShutdownModeSchedule
1: ShutdownModeTryNow
2: ShutdownModeForceNow
3: ShutdownModeInteractive

I putted this command in the file /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh when the power button event occurs:

dcop ksmserver ksmserver -1 -1 -1

But it don't work with this error:

ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!

this is the file:
#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
# /sbin/init 0
IFS=${IFS}/
set $@

case "$1" in
button)
case "$2" in
power) /opt/kde/bin/dcop ksmserver ksmserver -1 -1 -1
;;
*) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
;;
esac
;;
*)
logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
;;
esac

Why???

If you run the script as root, you have to set the DISPLAY environement variable. Also, root must have the neccesairy rights to access dcop (this is not implicit through the structure of X-client <-> X-server). You can grant this right with the xhost command (as user).
