Your keystrokes aren't quite right and don't work under all circumstances.
That's how you accidently deleted your object.  Instead, try this keyboard
method to shut down OS/2 - it should work in all instances

alt-shift-tab 	(focus to wps desktop)
ctrl-\		(deselect any selected desktop object)
shift-F10	(desktop menu)
d		(shut down)

You may have to hit an enter, and maybe hit OK a few times if you have
apps open and what not.  But that method above to get the desktop menu
is a lot more bullet-proof than the method you described.

I'd test it past 'shift-f10' and 'd', but I don't wanna shut down right now.  :)
