 I don't think it's a good fix.  If at all, shutdown itself should
 prevent the signal delivery to reboot(8).  After all, shutdown is the
 program that goes into background, while reboot is a plain foreground
 program (which i expect to be able to abort using ^C if i hit it
 quickly after typing the command).
 
 Note that you should also get away with something like
 
 	...	exec "trap 1 2 15 ''; shutdown -h now"
 
 in your window manager menu.
