Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

I installed Xubuntu Fiesty on my computer via the live cd and then I
upgraded to Gutsy using the upgrade manager.  I noticed that the
shutdown splash screen was starting late, after network manager and a
bunch of other stuff had already gone down.  (There would be no splash
screen and then a splash screen for a second or two and then power off).
After some investigating I found that gdm in init.d wasn't running
usplash_down and according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SplashDown and
other forum ramblings its supposed to.  My guess is that the reason the
splash screen appeared late is something further down the line was
running it (maybe sendsigs).

In any case, I added a call to usplash_down just before gdm shuts down
the display manager and now everything seems to work fine.  I.E.  The
shutdown splash screen appears right away and there is no ucky text.

I don't know if this is an artifact from Fiesty that didn't get changed
when I used the upgrade manager to move to the gibbon or if its
something specific to xubuntu.

PS.  This is my first bug report.  I apologize if I left anything out.
