Public bug reported:

I upgraded to Mythbuntu 9.10 one week ago.  I like most of the changes.
However:

After clicking on Applications -> Shut-down/Log-out, the user is
transferred to the sign-on screen, which has a small "power" button in
the bottom right-hand corner.  Clicking on this brings up a small panel
with 3 choices, one of which is Shut-down.

The first time that my wife needed to shut-down the PC, she could not
work out what to do.  When I showed her, she had difficulty seeing the
"buttons" (on a 40 inch screen).  She asked, why was this changed from
9.04, where there was no ambiguity, with the shut-down choices clearly
displayed in the middle of the screen?

I think that it is a good idea to have a shut-down choice on the log-on
screen, but couldn't we also have the old style of shut-down?

Regards, Garry.
