> My favorite battle recently was just trying to shutdown the machine without it starting right back up. Pretty sure that isn't possible if you have external monitor and keyboard hooked up.

Apple Menu -> Shutdown. Make sure you don't have the "restart" checkbox ticked.

Works fine on my MBP with external monitor and keyboard

There is no restart checkbox?

I can try to reproduce later. This was maddening when I was getting ready for a vacation recently. Machine just wouldn't stay off.

Mayhap it is the USB dongle I have that does power and monitor/keyboard?
