I would love to have the 60 second "countdown" feature back (for logging out, shutting down or restarting). This has saved me on several occasions (e.g. when my KVM switch became unresponsive, the video display became corrupted, or a wireless keyboard/mouse lost the connection, etc - just push the power button and you knew the system would automatically shutdown in a minute's time). This feature is available in other desktops still (e.g. KDE, Cinnamon), so it would be great to have it back in Unity too. Even if it was a "tick box" option somewhere in System Settings to turn it on (i.e. optional). Many thanks. Kind regards, Adam.

After the time elapsed, the computer would shutdown. This feature is now missing in 14.*. As a user who absolutely loved this feature, I consider this a regression.
