I never thought of the current text in such a way that you observed but then again I am "computer literate".
The proposed text Matthew Paul Thomas posted seems more explanatory and seems to make even a person which is "computer illiterate" to understand what is happening.

My original design for the alert had primary text: "Are you sure you want to close all programs and shut down the computer?" The countdown was supposed to be secondary text, not primary text. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionTerminationConfirmation> I think this would have prevented the problem you observed. - -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksf7ksACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecqG2QCaAwcv/p3YlX1uIXSJne12xrMm HbYAoIpcdanKLzdxchb9UjoOcZScuaru =sw6g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
