you can press the power button on most configs, the session indicator is also available through the keyboard and under unity in precise you can use the HUD to access the shutdown indicator menu easily

Ergo, it was a quick way of shutting down the computer via keyboard. In Oneiric, this has been remapped to throwing up the Log Out dialogue. This leaves no easy way to shut down the computer using the keyboard. Even Alt+F4, which is used to shut down applications (presumably for the comfort of users migrating from Windows), does not throw up the Shut Down dialogue. A mouse should not be necessary to shut down the computer (and running a search in Dash is just illogical).
