Fedora 20 shutdown

[Roger]

I have 4 icons in the top right corner.
one to switch on the internet, one which displays a small aeroplane, one 
for speaker volume and one for battery status.
They all have the same dropdown menu which has  a selection Home which 
provides Switch User and Log out.
Wow! thanks,  I just found the shut down icon, it is a tiny circle with 
a line through it, bottom right in that menu selection.
Great
Cheers
Roger
