FC4 and WinXP Pro coexist quite happily (or perhaps they just tolerate 
each other...) on one disk in my laptop.

As others have pointed out, in GNOME logout, restart, and shutdown are 
options under the Desktop menu.  There is also a logout button applet so 
you can do it with one click (plus confirmation) from your taksbar. 
Right-click on the taksbar, then Add to Panel, then Logout.
