Try logging into your VM and check if this is the case. My bet is that
you're running in HVM mode so you need to configure VNC for your VM,
which is just trivial - look at xen wiki.

The -F option sends ACPI button event to OS, it is just like pressing
the power button. You also need your OS  to respond to that event
correctly.
