I'm with Scott on this one - artificially limiting the speed at which something is executed is contrary to my beliefs of good architecture in this case, especially since this is a purely cosmetical aspect.

Leaving out the shutdown sound is probably the best and only way to go, but that's only a good sign for the distribution. -- Shutdown sound is truncated https://launchpad.net/bugs/61530 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
