I don't know if it can be put into the 'top-level' of the menu or just into one of the folders like Configuration or Applications. It would be easier to put it into a panel applet (where you've got the K menu button, the Help ring and the console/shell applet). Read up on man chmod and especially take note of the warnings about making shutdown SUID - it would allow anyone logged into your system (including an intruder if your firewall isn't good enough) to shutdown the computer no matter what you might be doing. > off.
