Bug Description
Binary package hint: fast-user-
Ubuntu offers to shut down/restart the computer even if other users are logged in, so if user A has unsaved data open, and user B shuts down the computer, A loses data.
There should at least be a message "X users are still logged in, do you really want to restart?".
Ciao

In addition to the message, shutdown should only happen if the user shutting down the system has administrator privileges.
(My son just rebooted the system! Argh!)
