This is a big inadequacy in my opinion and perhaps also a security risk. I suggest that the halt/restart buttons be disabled completely and not shown on the gdm shell when it is presented to a user upon choosing to "switch user" while another user session is logged in. Halt/Restart "works" from the gdm screen even if multiple users are logged in.
