I agree. Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring a small overlay window with several 
items in it, and the user should be able to move the focus in there with 
cursor keys. I believe that would be the best implementation. Then, all 
you'd have to do is press Ctrl+Alt+Del, press left or right or up or 
down and press return.
The reason Dash is there is to start an application and if "Shutdown" 
will show up first when "sh" is typed, then it would make things much 
slower when I try to start an application that starts with "sh". Many 
people WILL end up turning their systems off when all they tried to is 
start an application. This will apply to all other sessions actions that 
will be in Dash (logout, restart, etc).
