Power-off stupidity remains in Fedora 17

It's annoying, but it has an extremely easy fix. Has no one told you about  
http://extensions.gnome.org yet? It's one fantastic collection of  
shell-extensions that make F17 (and 15 and 16 by the way) very much more  
usable than the out of the box version.
Linux is for tinkerers - people who want their machine to look perfect -  
the way they like it. People who do not mind fiddling around with the out  
of the box version till it suits their needs. If you don't like that,  
that's a pity.
It's part of the Linux (and Fedora) experience. Out of the box works, but  
it's not great for (m)any(one). It demands a bit of tinkering; and  
extensions.gnome.org just made that tinkering easy.

Darn, I should get a marketing job. :D
