Hello,

I don't think it's problem about to kernel. The problem related to GNOME .
I used last time and I modified the file "gsd-media-keys-manager.c" file and added the following lines to logind.conf file:

HandlePowerKey=poweroff
PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=yes

This is a out of topic and XPS13 is not good, You also don't use a desktop,
Suggest Openbox :)
