I think the chance of accidentally managing to push the quit button and then push shutdown when you really meant to do something else is pretty slim, and the "Are you sure" thing would just become really annoying, really fast.

Example: user clicks the applet which brings up: Shutdown, Restart, Logout choices - user click the Shutdown button & the machine immediately shuts down (as expected). Problem: sometimes the user (often times me :-) is in a hurry and clicks Shutdown inststead of Restart or some other intended button. Ubuntu is so efficient that it immediately does as asked and shutsdown the machine. Is it possible to issue some sort of warning similar to that issued when changing screen resolution, ala; You've requested that this machine Shutdown (or Restart). This machine will <shutdown or restart> in x seconds, press Accept to confirm or Cancel to cancel the request. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
