Matthew, the functionality doesn't belong in the Users and Groups
account properties. It belongs on the system level, or the control
level. An ordinary user with the same privileges as the logged in user
would not have the ability to power down the system. It's something
GNOME is doing via its connection to dbus, I think. What GNOME should
be doing is allowing you to limit what options are offered by default.
There's no reason a user logging out should be offered a painter's
palette of logout buttons, when a single logout/cancel button would
suffice. If they need to shut the system down, they already would know
how.
If you put the functionality as a users/groups attribute, someone with
an installation like mine would have to adjust those properties or group
memberships for upwards of 45000 users. Not an option. If GNOME has
added this option, they should offer some functionality in turning it
back off again.
