Title:
  Ctrl+Alt+Del mapped to log out dialogue

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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).
