My idea is that Plymouth is run directly from the off button of ubuntu, and then run the shutdown command from plymouth, automatically.
That is, Plymouth shuts down the computer.

Someone press the shut down button, that run plymouth, then plymouth run the commands to shut down the computer.

Sorry, about my english, I don't now translate very well my ideas.

It would simply indicate the services startup status using upstart/rc.d scripts. Grey for not doing anything, yellow for starting/waiting, green for started.

Given good simple page design, it should be displayable by w3m as well, so even text mode bootup could use it.

This would solve what a lot of people haven't liked since the move to upstart was introduced.. that its hard to see what is happening while the server is booting. This also lets you go to the page later and check what happened during bootup in the same format it was displayed while booting. For large scale deployments where bootup isn't ever visible, this is far better than scraping the console output.

The same Appearances Preferences GUI that allows users to change the wallpaper and customize theme options in Ubuntu 10.04 should also include the ability to add, change, modify, and customize the Plymouth splash screen, login screen, & shut down screen. It really wouldn't be difficult to implement. Every other aspect of the environment is so easy to customize, it seems odd that Plymouth lacks the same support features.

Because Plymouth is a recent addition, it is understandable that such considerations have not yet been made. Still, it is something I would like to see addressed.

for changing wallpaper/themes/cursors for the login screen and boot/shutdown screen, since a hacker could maliciously add themes/screw up your system in an annoying way without root priveledges

XCB is a library which both Qt and GTK+ are based on. One universal version which is based on XCB directly could be made. It will be much faster and more lightweight.
