I'd rather just make the shutdown fast enough that no one cares. Keeping X running makes a few things difficult and it would be easier just to speed up the process, imho [snip]

I noticed something in FC2 with regards to shutdown...
Most of the time, shutting down from a Gnome desktop or from GDM, I see the listing of services being killed (the one with the [OK] thing, similar to the startup process).
But there are times when I don't see this. What happens is all the Gnome stuff ends (gnome-panel, nautilus, etc), and all I see, while shutting down is my wallpaper. When X gets killed, I see the standard console login prompt for a moment. Then shutdown. No service shutdown listing. Very clean. It seems not as I get it maybe 1 out of 10 shutdowns.
