Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric stable

Ctrl+Alt+Del used to be the keymapping for offering Shutdown, Restart,
Sleep, Hibernate, etc, with the focus on Shutdown. Ergo, it was a quick
way of shutting down the computer via keyboard. In Oneiric, this has
been remapped to throwing up the Log Out dialogue. This leaves no easy
way to shut down the computer using the keyboard. Even Alt+F4, which is
used to shut down applications (presumably for the comfort of users
migrating from Windows), does not throw up the Shut Down dialogue.

A mouse should not be necessary to shut down the computer (and running a
search in Dash is just illogical).

** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
