Just remove it completely. In fact that is one of the first things that
I do when I install a system. I then logout/shutdown using System|Log
Out <user> or System|Shutdown. You can also add a Main Menu icon to the
lower left panel (this is another thing that I do on install). That way
you have access to all the commands & menus in one place (including
shutdown). Right click on the panel, Add to Panel|Main Menu.
