First of all many thanks to Pablo for his  work. I've tested the patch
and it works cleanly on my system too.

However  I confirm  the  misbehaviour of the   progress bar during the
shutdown sequence :/

Anyway I've updated my unofficial package, and this time I've uploaded
it to Debian. At the moment is in the  NEW queue, but  you can find it
here as well:

Ok, thanks again.
