No problem.
The current patch just tricks the login prompt process to behave as if
the user had chosen 'shutdown' from the GDM system menu.
Uh, I mean, if the user cannot shutdwon from the login prompt, he cannot
shutdown from the logout dialog.
To be on the safe side, one can set the shutdown command in gdm.conf to
"/bin/true" or - much better - to a binary that doesn't exist.
