Okay, you're right: shutdown has some option-flags. The example on the
left shows how easy these can be added to your graphical interface. A
shutdown is two clicks away now.
The example on the right (source)
is even more sophisticated. When you click on
the shutdown button, a larger window pops-up which asks some more
questions.
Only thing left: you have to run this program with root permission and
started from your .xsession. By the way: Perl scripts can
run setuid root, if you want to. See suidperl.
