You could also look into fancontrol, which is more normally used to throttle back over-eager fans to save noise, but you might want to tweak it the other way. Ah, Ubuntu, what it giveth it shall also taketh away. I've just noticed another weird bug on my 13.04 system where hitting the power off menu in gnome-shell only brings up the old 60 second count down to shutdown menu about half the time - the other half it just brings up a dialogue to power off immediately or cancel, and if you hit cancel, all further possibilities of logging off, restarting or shutting down from the GUI hang interminably when selected. Last night I had to CTRL+ALT+F1 to another TTY and issue 'shutdown -hP now' just to put the thing to bed. Grrr.
