Wat do you do when a great logon doesn't install with a "shut off computer" button??

Well, title says it all...I have downloaded 2 screens that look great, but there's no "shut off computer" button. I browsed through the program, but don't know how to add one myself.

Edit the logon. In edit mode, on the right in elements, panels, bottom panel. See if height is set to 0. If it is change it. (might also check the visible is set to true).

Just a question of curiousity here.......... why is a shutdown button important on a logon screen? I only ask because I see this come up a lot lately, and I can't recall ever wanting to shutdown the computer from there.

Because it's easier for my other half to shut it down with out screwing it up.

Because I've mixed 2 SATA and 2 Ultra ATA drives in my Dell box and the BIOS doesn't like the second SATA drive. When I first power up, BIOS can't find SATA #2. And it won't find SATA #2 until I continue the boot and restart. Being able to shut down from the logon screen saves about 5 minutes every time I have to do this drill.

My computer stays on a lot.
