Comment (by marco):

 Thanks for the feedback, Eben.

 On the short term shutdown is the only way we have to turn off the
 machine. Suspend is really *far* from working. The shutdown action is
 hooked up to the physical power button. It's important to get a fix for
 this in BTest-2 because otherwise people will press the button and not
 understand if the action has been taken or not.

 On the long term, I think shutdown will not be the norm. Most of the time
 users will just suspend. Still, even if not high priority I guess we want
 to have a nice graphical shutdown, for the long term.

 The gray screen with something in the middle is what I had in mind too. Do
 you have time to hash up a quick shutdown icon I can put there? I think we
 can do without an animation for BTest-2.
