remove "shutdown" option from gnome system (not gdm!) menu?

Wow.

I installed 'pessulus' via yum.  When run as root, it allows one to
remove the "log out" from the "System" menu.  BUT, that also removes
the "Shut Down" item - apparently, the two are bound somehow.

Even though the "Log Out" function departs the menu, you can still do:
gnome-session-save --kill --gui
from the command line and it (seemingly) logs out the user cleanly.
You could add a new item to the menu or panel with that command.  Not
pretty, but maybe it would work.

Seems odd that you can't remove the shutdown item without disabling logout.
