This may not be exactly what you want, but I have the following in my /etc/inittab file:

ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now

Since I always start and end my session at the command line, this allows me to use the shutdown command with the ctrl/alt/del keys as a normal user when I am ready to shut my machine down.

Enter this into your /etc/inittab file (you'll need to be root to modify the file), then reboot and the good old three-finger salute will be available to you for shutdown.
