Dear mentors,
one month after my sponsorship request for "gnome-session-shutdown", of
which I am the upstream author, I realize that I did not include a long
description of the package (suggested in DebianMentorsFaq, 3.4).
So here it is.
"gnome-session-shutdown" is a clone of the "shutdown" command that will
gracefully end the GNOME session before bringing the system down.
It makes possible to easily bring the system down from a terminal (or
from within a script) with a "shutdown"-like syntax, closing all the
GNOME applications and ending the GNOME session in a safe way instead of
just terminating the display manager, without requiring root privileges.
"gnome-session-shutdown" tries to replicate as much as possible the
behavior of the "shutdown" command, but will trigger the shutdown via
the GNOME session manager D-Bus interface (like "gnome-session-quit"
does) instead of just issuing a SIGTERM signal to all processes.

Reviews and suggestions are welcome too.
Thank you for your time.
