I agree with putting it in the Me Menu. We can't put everything only one click away, since with all that you want to do on a daily basis, that would make for a very cluttered environment. Frequently used apps should go in the launcher, along with the places. Most other things should be left out.

This would solve both problems of not being close to Shut Down nor cluttering up the Launcher
