When i used poweroff on my old computer it did just reboot which was pretty
anoying, until i figured out what the halt command existed. Why dont we let 
the user choose wheater he wants to manually turn it of or to automatically 
turn it off.

I think Alan Chandlers suggestion seems nice, have it in the control-center 
under the system section.
