The warning is shown when another user is logged in graphically (via
lightdm).

But what about when the other user is logged in a virtual console (Alt+F1) or via SSH, RDP, etc?
>From what I've seen, the warning isn't shown in these cases.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Other users logged into a system may loose work if another user shuts
  down/reboots a system.  Data loss is not a Good Thing.

  [Test Case]

  Steps to reproduce:

  1) Create a second account in the system
  2) While the first account is open, open a session with the second one
  3) Try to shutdown the system

  Expected results:
  The system logs out instead of shutting down (ideally with a warning on why it did that)

  Actual results:
  The system shutdowns and unsaved data on session1 is lost

  [ Regression Potential]

  None.

  ----------------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Add a warning message informing the user that other users are logged in and then shutting down will also close their sessions as proposed in the mockup attached to comment #12
  - The warning message should be "Other users are currently logged in to this computer, shutting down now will also close these other sessions"
