[Bug 357455] Re: Shutdown menu option has "..." but action is immediate

[Paul Broadhead]

Chris, I'm glad you have fixed this bug in the way you describe.  I
think the suggested behaviour of Paul Sladen would be surprising to most
users.  As I understand things, the original intention of the count down
dialogue was to allow the user to back out of a shut-down/restart in
case they mis-clicked the option or changed their mind.  Having a
special case for multiple sessions for the same UID - i.e. change the
menu option and invoke the action immediately - would be a very
unexpected action IMHO.  Far better to keep things simple.  One or more
of the same UID, show the countdown.  More than one UID, invoke the
admin dialogue with cancel or immediate action the result of that
dialogue.  Both routes give back out options.
