Sorry for the lack of specification of the package... :( I don't how it
calls...

I use my PC at night to leave my apache server running. To shutdown the
computer at 08:55, I use 'sudo shutdown -h 08:55' in the shell. This
way, I avoid the use of another packages, saving precious disk space.

But when the shutdown is scheduled with this command, and for some reason I 
want to turn it off before its due time, my instinct is to go to the System 
Menu -> Quit, and then Shut Down.
But when I do this, the computer falls back to the GDM. But if I want to 
shutdown the computer via System Menu -> Quit, I have to issue in the shell 
'sudo shutdown -c', to cancel the scheduled shutdown, so I can shut it down via 
GDM...

My "solution" for this problem is to cancel the scheduled shutdowns,
before the system shutdown routines begin, when the System Menu -> Quit
-> Shut Down is done...

Thank's  for the reading, and I hope I could explain myself well :-)
