Nowadays, when I try to shutdown my system, I sometimes get this
unhelpful dialog:

It complains about an unknown program that is not responding and wants
to give me the "option" of waiting for it to finish. Is there any way
to disable this dialog permanently? More than once I have left my
machine thinking it would have shutdown only to find this annoying
dialog a couple of hours later.
Does anything malevolent happen if you click "Shutdown Anyway"?
Nothing. But all these days I am used to hitting ctrl+alt+del and
pressing enter and the system would shutdown. Now, *sometimes* it throws
up this dialog a few seconds after I initiate the shutdown and by that
time, I would have left the desk. I would see it several hours later
when I attempt to turn the computer on, only to realize that it has been
wasting power all the while.
I could not find any setting in gconf-editor that appears related to
this. Others seem to be having this problem too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/313228
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486393
Guess, I'll have to map ctrl-alt-del to 'sudo poweroff' to get rid of
this, but I then it would become too easy to accidentally initiate shutdown.
