  Well, basically, that single app is a VERY simplified desktop and
  email client. But if my users get more competent, I'm perfectly happy
  for them to go play with GNOME itself and Firefox etc.

  But my simplified front-end app has a "quit" button and I want that to
  close the PC down.

  Seems fairly simple to me, to be honest...
