Re: Shutdown
I am probably coming in the middle of this thread and don't know exactly
what's going on (just re-subscribed to the list). But are you trying to
get a "shutdown" button in gnome without having to log out and do it via
gdm?
Simply make a new launcher that runs 'gksu poweroff'. When you press it,
you'll get a dialog box asking for password, then it shutsdown for you.
