There are many things that are not done often, and the goal is that at the
end of the day you won't do anything more than once, because the computer
already understands the context of what you are attempting to initiate, and
complements your gestures with the desired context intelligently.

positioning a rarely used element correctly for once is a key solution,
which will lead the way for the positioning of other such rarely used
elements.
and Shutdown, as rarely as it will be used, should be accessible. I would
feel very uncomfortable, if i didn't know where to find that Power button
immediately.

Which is why it is always visible at the appropriate place; the corner 
of the screen. Why would it be better to do move it out of sight into 
the dash?

exactly. i don't think it would be wise to remove it from the edge of the
screen. One could keep it in the top right, make it a large button and give
it a more prominent coloring when the dash is open, but that would require
a proper visual design of the whole indicator wing at the top right.
I'm positive that will happen in the near future, my guts are telling me
so..

look at this for example:
http://www.gabsoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Capture-121.png
what we have now is much better already!
now it needs to be stepped up into a proper design, away from the rusty
plain old menu stuff that has been around from ever since back in the day..

Please don't let your zeal to win an argument,

It is already hard enough to have a useful discussion with this many 
diverse people.

interesting way of seeing it, yet if you read exactly, you will find the
word intelligently. I don't think a toaster needs to see the future to
afford heuristics for its 3 most common use cases, and the same goes for
any machine.

Yes it is. :-) By itself, Ctrl Alt Del is a completely non-obvious key
combo. The only reason it does anything at all in Ubuntu is that it
does something special in Windows. But what it does in Windows is
completely different. So if it does anything in Ubuntu, it should be
similar to what it does in Windows. http://launchpad.net/bugs/890747

 but there should be also a Key-Combination to open the new Shut 
 Down-Dialog.

Pressing the power button on your computer opens a dialog that lets
you shut down. There's no need for a keyboard shortcut for a separate
dialog for the same thing.

I agree with you on that, but what if the Tour is a way out of range ?  say
I have to stand up in order to push the power button... , on a Laptop, not
having a shortcut is okay, but with a tour  I think we need it.

 There are two more things in oneiric to change!

 Before it was possible to open the Shut Down-Dialog with Ctrl+Alt+Del,
 now there's is Logout! Thats not bad, but there should be also a
 Key-Combination to open the new Shut Down-Dialog.

 for example:

 *Ctrl+Alt+L* - Lock Screen

 *Ctrl+Alt+Del* - Logout

 *Ctrl+Alt+End - Shut Down*

 To complete it would be nice to have the combinations written behind the
 keywords. With Lock Screen it's just done!
 Which Command opens the Shut Down-Dialog?

 Sry if it isn't the right place here  gimme a Link 



 -German--
 Ich hätte da noch zwei Anliegen!

 Und zwar war es bisher so, dass man mit Strg+Alt+Enf zum
 Ausschalten-Dialog gekommen ist, jetzt kommt nur noch Abmelden! Dagegen
 habe ich eig nichts einzuwenden, aber es sollte dann auch eine Tastenkombi
 für den Herunterfahren-Dialog geben.

 Beispiel:

 *Strg+Alt+L* - Bildschirm sperren

 *Strg+Alt+Entf* - Abmelden

 *Strg+Alt+Ende - Herunterfahren*

 Und es wäre auch schön, wenn die beiden Kombis hinter den Begriffen stehen
 würden, wie das schon bei Bildschirm sperren der Fall ist!

 Welcher Befehl ruft den Herunterfahren-Dialog auf?
