Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

We're trying to unify the naming throughout Ubuntu of how the user tells Ubuntu to be ready for the power to be removed and that it should only keep the memory active removing power from other components. For those we are using "Switch Off" and "Sleep".

The following is diff changing those strings on the latest package in Lucid.

I just saw this come though on Lucid. FWIW I think that "Turn Off" would be a better wording then "Switch Off" In addition to that I also saw that this broke unification when logged in and you try to shut down it states shut down.
