What I was hoping for was a more direct response to why these icons for
shutdown are
intermittant.

The shutdown command as I typed it predated Solaris and came from AT&T
as early as System 3,

Shutdown is better to use than init because it had more flexability and
isn't as
abrupt as init.   I guess init 0 is ok if your the only (ab)user of the
system.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, how about a little support from  you guys
for the
concept of getting the GUI based shutdown to work reliably?
