No problem. The current patch just tricks the login prompt process to behave as if the user had chosen 'shutdown' from the GDM system menu. Uh, I mean, if the user cannot shutdwon from the login prompt, he cannot shutdown from the logout dialog. To be on the safe side, one can set the shutdown command in gdm.conf to "/bin/true" or - much better - to a binary that doesn't exist. Greetings, Jarno
