I don't feel that is on topic with the usability bug at hand. We are
talking about a GUI aspect of the "System" menu (found beside:
Applications, Places...) in Gnome Window Manager.
People can always forcefully reboot using CTRL + ALT + DEL, or shutdown using:
shutdown -h
halt
poweroff
Or even reb
ctl alt F1 will open a special terminal (ctl alt F7 close it) login.
info reboot gives other options but ...
sudo reboot.
and it reboots.

You received this bug notification
armo, we found that out recently and we compared it to a few different

I just found out that if you remove the fast-user-switch-applet from the
panel the shutdown options reappear in the system menu :) Still seems
strange to have removed them in the first place though.

I confirm the need to have a simple keyboard shortcut to access the
halt/reboot/etc menu. I'm using the keyboard for almost all, and having
to use the mouse to log out, to halt, to reboot, etc., is quite
annoying.

** Description changed:
In Jaunty the System > Leave function was taken off of the menu. I
believe this is a usability and accessibility mistake.
The only way to access this now the less-than-vital fast-user-switch-
applet. The fast-user-switch-applet is not accessible except by mouse.
I always remove this applet. I would really like to get these options
back, or at least, have an option to re-enable it, although I think that
what Craig says about usability makes a lot of sense and should be there
by default.

I found out that it is possible to shut down using the keyboard (assumes that
you know alt-f1, but that's the same for the old method):
- Press Alt-F1 to open the main menu
- Using the arrow keys, navigate to the keyboard shortcut preferences
- Press enter
- Use the down/up keys to search for the
