Are you tired of not being able to shutdown your raspberry pi without going through menus? I have found the fix for you if you want to add a startup and shutdown button. This simple bash install script will allow you to add a button to your raspberry pi. The full details will be provided in a link below.
You can use this script on any raspbian based OS. I have not tried it on ubuntu mate or any XBMC. It should work on those as well since they are linux based. You will need a passive reset button for this. I used this on retropie inside of a PiStation that I built using the original reset button so that all playstation buttons are functional. With this button there is no reason to cut the power off on your Pi.
Software wise, all you have to do is SSH or open a terminal and enter the following command:
curl http://pie.8bitjunkie.net/shutdown/setup-shutdown.sh | bash
