(Get the code!)
Console sessions are a bit of a red herring. I first saw this feature when using user switching. I've seen Vista do something similar (don't ask me the details).
You're right, KDE3 does exactly the same thing. So this is a feature request, not a regression, sorry about that.
Here's one point: It takes several seconds to log out. This is especially true when running Thunderbird, which takes a few seconds to shut down itself. I think it probably suffers from using fsync() on ext3.
So if you click "turn off", you may wait long enough to see any "unsaved changes" dialogues, but not long enough to see the "other open sessions" dialogue. You could walk away and unintentionally leave your computer in limbo. It would be more user friendly if all obstacles to turning off could be presented at the same time.
