Description David Smeringe 2003-07-15 20:06:15 UTC 
The message string "Shut down your computer so that you may turn it off."
is a bit missguiding since it actually (almost) says the same thing twise.
It's the text that shows as a hint on the "shut down" option under actions.
I would like to suggest something like this: "Shut down the system so that
you safely can turn off the computer". This describes what you are about to
do, and why (or, why you shouldn't just turn off the computer).
