Chris, I'm glad you have fixed this bug in the way you describe. I think the suggested behaviour of Paul Sladen would be surprising to most users. As I understand things, the original intention of the count down dialogue was to allow the user to back out of a shut-down/restart in case they mis-clicked the option or changed their mind. Having a special case for multiple sessions for the same UID - i.e. change the menu option and invoke the action immediately - would be a very unexpected action IMHO. Far better to keep things simple. One or more of the same UID, show the countdown. More than one UID, invoke the admin dialogue with cancel or immediate action the result of that dialogue. Both routes give back out options.
