Bug Description
1. Log in as user A
2. Switch to user B
3. Press the power button.
What you see: "Other users are currently logged in to this computer, shutting down now will also close these other sessions. Goodbye XYZ, would you like to…"
What's wrong with this:
* The first sentence is a run-on sentence, which is poor grammar.
* The message singles out "shutting down", when restarting also has the issue.
* "Close these other sessions" is not the issue; potentially losing work is the issue.
* "Goodbye XYZ, would you like to..." is even more of a cheery non-sequitur than usual following the warning.
What you should see: Something like "2 other users are logged in. Restarting or shutting down will close their open applications and may cause them to lose work."

Thank you for your bug report. When you "switch to user B", does "switching" includes entering your password (e.g are you in the session of user B, or on the password prompt to enter it)?
