That is very true, and I understand why this is by design, but in this 
case the ONLY user of the machine is me.  It really is no big deal, but 
I am trying to understand just what is going on here.  As I said, on my 
desktop I am able to shut down as user, and can't remember how I set it 
up so that occurs.  Back to the handbook!
