This is awful in multi user environments, or when remote desktops are used.
Is there some easy way of turning this off?
Is this the default Gnome 2.14 behavior?
At the very least the user shoould be prompted for a root or even better
a sudo password before he is allowed to do this. It also creates far
too many menu items in the Desktop menu that are very similar. The old
FC4 way of doing this was much better from a usability perspective.
I don't know about FC4, but it's long been the case that users with
console access could shutdown or reboot the system.
To the best of my recollection, KDM and such have a configurable option
to allow remote users to shutdown/reboot, with the default being that
they cannot.
If the behaviour is different in proposed FC5, I suggest a bug report.
