Agreed, a logout dialogue is not the best solution, but how about the ability to cancel a shutdown? Example: Suspend2 lets you cancel by pressing Escape. Then, if you realised that you had to save a document, you could just cancel the shutdown. And it would also be useful in case you remember something you needed to do.
Gnome-power-manager is probably not the place to implement this. Could you forward it to the correct place?
The ability to cancel a shutdown is something I have wanted in an OS for a long time.
