I get the same thing when I use the logout. I guess it is another reason 
to become repelled from the needless and stupid changes made in GNOME.

The next change will be a bunch of questions regarding your intent to 
logout and shutdown your computer.
Are you sure?
Did the President say it was OK?
What does your 3rd grade teacher say about your choice of shutting down?

Basically, I created an Icon on the desktop which has the command 
poweroff. I click on the Launcher and the computer shuts down. I don't 
get kicked to the login screen where I could then logout.

Is this a bug or another annoying change to GNOME?
