There is a /usr/share/applications/gnome-session-shutdown.desktop file which seems to have no relevance. I tried entering it in /etc/gnome/menu.blacklist without any effect. The powerdev groups seems to be depreciating in squeeze/gnome. On a standard desktop/laptop install, gdm will run "gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog" for any logged in user.

They, instead, are returned to the gdm login, from whence they can shutdown without a password or relogin with one. I wonder if that is a bug. :-) So I guess this is a bump.
