The GNOME Usability Study Report at http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/ut1_report/logging_out.html
recommends that the logout dialog Halt "checkbox label reads 'Suspend (Halt
- stops the processor)'".  I belive it should say 'Halt (stop for
poweroff)'.  This better describes what happens when the checkbox is
chosen.  (Usability Principle: Match between system and the real world.)
