Integration of gnome-session with GDM, which permits to shutdown or
reboot without actually having to logout and tell GDM to do so.

I had to search for a long time before finding something related.
So here it is:
Create a file /var/lock/console/<user> where <user> is the login name of
the user which should be presented a choice at "logout". Then, this user
need to be able to execute some sort of shutdown command. Don't ask me
how, I don't know and cannot put one hand on the solution somewhere.
