I have this same question but that ShutdownMenu = 1 is unrelated to what he was talking about.  He's talking while in a gnome-session, when you goto the Logout dialog it says "Are you sure?" bla bla, and there is a radio selection for "Logout", "Reboot", "Shutdown", and a checkbox for "Save session".

However, I was instructed that these changes were dropped by the GNOME people (why, I don't know, those were the best features of session...)...Unfortunately you basically just have to use the RPMs by RedHat because they're the ones who hacked that much.  Right now I am working on getting the source for the gnome-core that came w/ my RedHat 6 box and reintroducing that code into GNOME because I think it should have been implemented in the first place...
