Because you can tell it to shutdown, and then forget about the box,
instead of having to log out of gnome, wait a few minutes (depending on
what crazy gnome app is currently running or not, and yes, i have a
rather fast box, an athlon 2500+), and come back to perform the second
step.
Furthermore, if you configured gdm to auto-login into gnome directly,
you will never really need to see it.
Finally, if it is such an unusefull functionality, why has redhat, which
employs many gnome people do they not, implemented it ?
