How about a power switch on the computer actually acting like a power
switch, and turning the thing of properly (going through the proper
processes to shut down cleanly)?  Without the user having to do anything
else than press the power switch and have it do what they expect it to
do.  Just like on every other appliance that they own.

Seriously, it's much better than having to go through shenanigans to log
back into a session, just to shut down, when the screensaver has kicked
in.  Or the monitor's been turned off.  Or any other reason where it's
far more convenient to press one exposed switch on the computer, than
fool around with mouse and or keyboard (hint to the original poster,
Gnome has hidden the rest of the shutdown options, so that you now have
to hold down the ALT key before accessing the menu, so more options show
up, a right user-interface design fuckup).
