Only when run as root.  I recently noticed that program and tried it
out.

Hmm,  when I was using RH I followed the stable gnome releases from
gnome.org (they make RPMs and apt-get isn't there).  When I would log
out I got a dialog just like I see now (using stanard gnome from
woody) except it had 2 check boxes in it as well :

    [ ]  Save Session
    [ ]  Shutdown

It may have had radio buttons for "Shutdown" vs. "Reboot", but I don't
remember exactly as that was several months ago.
