When I click on the shutdown icon in the top right of my GNOME panel, clicking shutdown or reboot does nothing. If I log out, I can correctly shutdown or reboot from the logon screen (gdm). I also found this in /var/log/messages: Feb 24 14:47:53 Hypercube gnome-session[5578]: WARNING: Unable to list sessions: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" member "GetSessions" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit") Oh, by the way: nticompass@Hypercube ~ $ sudo ls -l /var/lib/ | grep PolicyKit Password: drwxrwx--- 2 root polkituser 4096 2010-01-26 20:33 PolicyKit drwxr-xr-x 2 polkituser root 4096 2009-10-15 23:41 PolicyKit-public Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click shutdown icon in GNOME Panel 2. Click reboot or shutdown Actual Results: Shutdown window goes away, nothing happens. Expected Results: Computer should reboot or shutdown.
