@Ernst Sjöstrand (ernstp)
That's pretty much what everyone else is already saying: By default when you shutdown with other users logged in, it should prompt saying other users are logged in, are you sure?, and then let you shutdown if you hit ok. The other suggestions here are just ways to make that even more user friendly, such as telling you exactly who is logged in etc...
The prompt is very necessary, since shutting down with other users logged in can cause data loss, so the user must be informed of this before continuing with the shutdown. This is the same behavior windows 7 uses by default and it does work well :)
