Why we are at it I would like to ask a related question. Why GNOME (at
least on Ubuntu) doesn't pay attention to who's logged in while doing
reboot/shutdown? I sometimes have a situation when I need to shutdown
and accidentally break somebody else's work, because he was also logged
in.

A simple dialog with: "Another person (name) is logged in. Are you really sure you want to shutdown and cause pain to the person?" would probably suffice.
