Bug Description
When I Shut Down my system (10.10 Maverick Meerkat, 32-bit i386), I often don't notice the Shut Down confirmation box until hours later.
I suggest a big, obvious 10 second countdown clock with an option button to Cancel, (plus the current "Shut Down" button to save a little more electricity for those less scatterbrained than I).
If the user clicks neither button, Shut Down would automatically begin when the countdown reached zero.
