I think would allow being convinced otherwise but right now I would say, if I dock my phone to an external monitor and use it as a pocket PC, that still doesn't mean I want to shut the phone down with the power button. The device itself is still a "phone" and meant to be always on, keeping me reachable for phone calls etc. So I suggest to continue to walk the path in this MP, keeping phone-ish behavior for the power button even in pocket-desktop mode.
As for waking the screen up with mouse/keyboard, yes I would agree we want that. It's kinda unrelated to the power button situation though.
