Public bug reported:

1. Log in as user A
2. Switch to user B
3. Press the power button.

What you see: "Other users are currently logged in to this computer,
shutting down now will also close these other sessions. Goodbye XYZ,
would you like to…"

What's wrong with this:
* The first sentence is a run-on sentence, which is poor grammar.
* The message singles out "shutting down", when restarting also has the issue.
* "Close these other sessions" is not the issue; potentially losing work is the issue.
* "Goodbye XYZ, would you like to..." is even more of a cheery non-sequitur than usual following the warning.

What you should see: Something like "2 other users are logged in.
Restarting or shutting down will close their open applications and may
cause them to lose work."
