Jef,

I;m seeing this too.  While GNOME only allows you to logout from a
session (requiring you to log out and then shutdown) I'd be pretty
confident that this is a bug (FC, as I understand it, runs a patch to
add the shutdown and reboot options to the panel menu).

Given that there's no mention of removing shutdown in the change logs
for the most recent build I'd be confident that this is an oops.
