In both GNOME (fallback mode) and xfce, if I click the shutdown entry in

sequence ending back at the login screen where there's a power icon
leading to a shutdown which finally actually powers down the machine. Is
this intended operation, that as Windows users leave the dark side they
are so used to having their hand held that Fedora has to emulate the
nanny sequence?
I see this on a number of 32 bit installs, and on the 64bit VM, having
issues with lack of time to upgrade the rest of my machines, I see
suspend is still broken WRT getting the network back up in some
functional way, no surprise, I don't even bother to report it any more,
but shutdown really should work.
Why is it this way?

This is easy to fix. Add an applet to your panel the runs the program:
poweroff or shutdown -h
Thanks for the the thought, I can (and have) just run that from the
command line as a workaround, the issue was more of getting the shutdown
option to work as I assume was intended.
It may be related to having a command line window open, a few trys with
closing the terminal first resulted in the shutdown functioning. Most odd.
