[Sussex] logout/end session vs reboot system!

[John D.]

When I'm using the graphic login as root, I can tell the system to log
out, and I get a nice dialogue box that asks if I want to end the
session, log out and switch off or restart the system.

If I to the same when logged in as user, I don't get any such dialogue,
the system just reboots.

How can I change things so that I get the options dialogue? as it's
really really annoying to have to restart the system?

regards

John D.
