Sorry,
1. this is not a duplicate of 183274 ; solving it will not solve this one
2. 183274 is only about one part of this bug, the tty part, and doesn't talk at
all about (for example) VLC.

If you fix 183274, you *mitigate*, but you don't fix, this bug, *for the tty
example*.
It does nothing about the random app (for example VLC) deciding that the system
should not shutdown when I'm already in my car going to some other part of the
city.
And that can't be considered a bug in that random app (say VLC), because if I
report it and get it fixed, then it'll maybe just be replaced by one (ou three
? ten ?) other random app doing the same stupid thing.

>If the user forgets an important program running the computer...
There is none. If I decide to launch "shutdown", there is no important program
left. Only program in a generic state that will be launched in a generic state
when the session is started again.

Sure, if you don't want to make that the default, that's maybe sensible. But
just tell me where the option is, I'll go tick it myself.
