Because 79303 says that if you type "Shutdown," or accidentally
mis-click it while trying to get rid of the command history dialog, your
computer shuts down (with no chance to cancel). The big problem here
is... you might accidentally shut down. When I accidentally click the
"Log Out" button in the top right, it doesn't just log me out; it asks.

This bug says that if you type "Shutdown," you get shutdown without
logging out of Gnome; i.e., kill -9 gnome-session style log-out (more
realistically it's probably that gdm got stopped). The big problem here
is sometimes this destroys the entire gconf2 settings tree.
