I lied, those options aren't there

# yum install gconf-editor
$ gconf-editor

/apps/panel/

Look around these options, I'm digging around my self, there is
disable_logout in global but that allows me to suspend my laptop still, and
not logging out sucks more than shutting down so there should be some more
options in there or a seperate check off for each one, not all-or-none in
the options.

/apps/panel/global
diable_log_out
disable_lock_screen
disable_suspend
disable_shutdown

Any reason why there can't be options for each one?
