Hi, As a laptop debian user, I feel that it's a waste of time to relaunch gdm just to be able to halt my laptop. So I would like to be able to do that from the gnome session. I know about gshutdown but I don't like the gui and it seems to be a little radical (I believe that it simply issue a halt command). I've noticed that under a Redhat/Ximian box, the logout dialog box not only
allow you to quit your X session but also allow you to halt and reboot your box. This is done nicely, tha halt command is issued right after the and of the X session logout. I didn't manage to enable this feature.
