Bug#568822: gdm: Gnome shows the login screen on shutdown

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.10-1
Severity: normal

When I shutdown the computer, the gnome login screen briefly shows up instead of just shutting down.

That prevents splashy from working on shutdown for instance.

Other issues might arise that I don't know of.
