The message accompanying the shutdown dialog currently reads:

Goodbye Joe Bloggs! Are you sure you want to close down all programs and shut down the computer?

There should be a comma before the name as it addressing the user by name [1][2]. The corrected version of the above message therefore read:

Goodbye, Joe Bloggs! Are you sure you want to close down all programs and shut down the computer?

This is a minor grammatical error, but nevertheless important!
