Ah, thanks for that.

I consider even one beep on shutdown to be a bug. Imagine a student in a
class with volume up that shutsdown a laptop... beep! & disturbs
everyone around him/her. It's as anoying as having a Windows user next
to you with the startup/shutdown wav files blaring.

[OT] I only ran across 372866 because I was looking to figure out how to
fix the FUSA that they screwed up since Hardy. It's a pain having to
have two applets; one for shutdown & one for user switching
login/logout. On a few systems I said yes to allow the upgrade to modify
& those give a dropdown w/logout + shutdown. Now I just have to figure
out how to do the same to the others that I didn't say yes to during the
upgrade.
