 As of build 465 (or was it 466? I can't remember) the user can't shut down
 normally by just pressing the power button, and an option was added to
 create a dropdown menu from the user's icon in the center of the screen
 with the option to shut down instead. As I understand a lot of users were
 accidentally shutting down their system with the power key being so close
 to the game buttons.

 But the new shutdown option has problems of its own. Being at the center
 of the screen makes it very easy to select the shutdown option by mistake,
 especially since it's in the center of the activity donut (the word
 "Shutdown" appears right over the Journal icon, which the user will
 probably be clicking a lot). I think that, at the very least, the user
 should receive an "Are you sure" message when selecting the shutdown
 option. Right now, it's still far too easy to do on accident.
