I had same question a few weeks back, just after FC5 was released.
I searched also but didn't find any answers. At that time, I had both 
FC4 and FC5 installed, so I compared what happened when I made the 
change in FC4 (which was possible through the GUI). I went and looked 
at the file in FC4 (/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf) which has this section 
under [greeter]

[greeter]
...
# The Actions menu (formerly system menu) is shown in the greeter, 
this is the
# menu that contains reboot, shutdown, suspend, config and chooser. 
None of
# these is available if this is off.  They can be turned off individually
# however
#SystemMenu=true

So I extrapolated the same idea to FC5 but didn't find the gdm.conf 
anywhere. I can't remember exactly how I found the custom.conf file 
but it might have been from listing the files in the gdm package.

Then I just experimented with adding "SystemMenu=false" and it worked!
