[ubuntu-uk] Shutdown bug?

[Neil Greenwood]

I think it's by design. It used to shutdown regardless when users were
logged in, but this isn't desirable for multi-user systems. Now, it
wouldn't matter whether you tried to shutdown as the admin user or the
normal user, as I understand it. It will only log you out until no more
users are logged in. As Daniel said, you can force it with the right
command.

I guess it could be clearer that there is still someone logged in, and I
believe this used to be clearer than it is with unity.

Neil.

P.S. Sorry for the brevity, this is typed on my phone.
