Public bug reported:

With the new gnome comes the 'system will shutdown in 60 seconds' nag
dialog, which I'm sure is wonderful for laptop users who accidentally
press the button, but it's annoying otherwise.

I have searched for a way to turn it off, or set the timeout to a much lower 
value. Something like 2-3 seconds would be bearable, but I can't find any 
option to do this. There's nothing in the gnome power manager, I can't find any 
mention of it in gconf either.
I've looked through forums of other people asking for this, someone said they 
even looked through the source code of the shutdown dialog, but couldn't figure 
out how it works because it's just a widget-like thing (?)

There should be a way to change the timeout value. At this point I don't
care if it's a value hidden in a conf file somewhere without any user
interface, I just want to bloody change it.
