Thanks Markkyboy!!! That's indeed the file in which the shutdown message is encoded:

/usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/ShutDownItem.qml

The string seems to be hardcoded in a binary component "sailfish-components-lipstick-la-goodbye-user", which gets translated then. But you can override everything with "text". Since, at least 12 people like the phone talking to them, I suggest they use this "Label":

Label {

    id: shutDownMessage
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    width: parent.width - 2 * Theme.horizontalPageMargin
    // Non themable color since we always want it white over black
    color: "white"
    font.pixelSize: Theme.fontSizeExtraLarge
    horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
    wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
    text: "Again trying to make XMPP working?"
}

Or this one:

Label {

    id: shutDownMessage
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    width: parent.width - 2 * Theme.horizontalPageMargin
    // Non themable color since we always want it white over black
    color: "white"
    font.pixelSize: Theme.fontSizeExtraLarge
    horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
    wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
    text: "See you Dear, but please don't leave me alone in the dark too long! Your Loving Jolla Phone."
}

That of course depends on your intimate relationship with your phone guys :))
