I think that you can get *some* of the way by installing the
molly-guard package.

Although molly-guard is primarily aimed towards preventing system
administrators from blowing their feet off, it does allow the system
adminstrator to add in scripts in /etc/molly-guard/run.d which can
prevent "shutdown" or "poweroff" from working.

It's a safety net - not a guarantee. And it is reasonably simple to
bypass by a half-competent admin.

I doubt this affects the LXDE power off button though. (I do not use
LXDE).

Hope this helps
