Actually, we could create a new package and set it as "recommends" or
"suggests" on the x2goclient / x2gothinclient package.

The script we use to shutdown the system in the thinclient environment
is rather simple:
<https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=live-build-x2go.git;a=blob;f=config/includes.chroot/lib/live/config/2800-x2go-powerbuttonmonitor;h=cb8d29cf9e1c5cfbed00e8a842f0d1aff0c2fe24;hb=refs/heads/feature/openbox-magic-pixel-workaround-stretch>

The poweroff can be performed faster with the first sequence, but should
not be done that way when there are rw-mounted filesystems under /dev,
that's what the if/else is for.

In its current form, the script has a hardcoded user homedirectory of
/home/user/, but expanding that to check a list of users or all homedirs
under /home should not be hard.

However, on systems where /home/ is on a persistent storage device and
not a ramdisk (as in the thinclient environment), the .halt file needs
to be deleted before executing the shutdown.  That's currently missing.
