Well, actually, my XDM screen has had a shutdown button for a while -- it
was a side-effect of the other peopel in the house liking to just pull the
plug at inconvenient times (This is from before windows 95, so it was my
idea first ;).

At any rate, just as long as nobody tries to move the code for a local X
display into the kernel...
