How do I remove the shutdown confirmation menu saying "are you sure you want to shut down"? This is the menu that pops up after I press shut down.

I can't navigate to it in gconf_editor using the old instructions for 10.04 or 11.04.

For 11.10

Run dconf-editor
(either Alt+F2 or from terminal, must be installed first)

/org/gnome/gnome-session/    

uncheck "logout-prompt"

I still haven't found a way to return restart to the menu and suppress that confirmation.

For 10.04/10.10 & 11.04

Run gconf-editor
(either Alt+F2 or from terminal)

/apps/gnome-session/options    

uncheck "logout_prompt"

/apps/indicator-session    

check "suppress_logout_restart_shutdown"

This will remove the annoying dialog in releases preceding Oneiric Ocelot.

Open a terminal and run gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session suppress-logout-restart-shutdown true. This will disable the dialog.

For me in Ubuntu 11.10:

sudo apt-get install gconf-editor dconf-tools
dconf-editor

Go to /apps/indicator-session

Enable: suppress-logout-restart-shutdown

Cheers!
