Getting FC16 to shut down

[Bill Davidsen]

In both GNOME (fallback mode) and xfce, if I click the shutdown entry in 
the user drop down, I get a pop-up asking if I really mean it. WHile I'd 
like to eliminate that step, if I click SHUTDOWN again I get a logout 
sequence ending back at the login screen where there's a power icon 
leading to a shutdown which finally actually powers down the machine. Is 
this intended operation, that as Windows users leave the dark side they 
are so used to having their hand held that Fedora has to emulate the 
nanny sequence?

I see this on a number of 32 bit installs, and on the 64bit VM, having 
issues with lack of time to upgrade the rest of my machines, I see 
suspend is still broken WRT getting the network back up in some 
functional way, no surprise, I don't even bother to report it any more, 
but shutdown really should work.

Why is it this way?
