Using a radeon graphics card, the error with a panic when exiting the 
GUI does not occur. There were also problems with random lockups with 
previous kernels and someone reprted a problem where their mouse 
functionality broke and their X server would go back to a login screen. 
I referenced this test kernel for maybe resolving this pecularity with 
the kernel and radeon cards when running the GUI.
Of course, the power-off using acpi is still present with the 2.6.9 
kernel versions.
