Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-session

When I click on the shutdown-icon in the top right corner and then choose either "Shutdown" or "Restart" it looks like the system would either shutdown or restart. But it then just goes to the login screen.

Syslog shows the following:
gnome-session[1243]: WARNING: Unable to restart system: Not Authorized

Shutdown via Terminal does work!

This bug may be connected to Bug #574325. Like Bug #574325 it does not appear always but both bugs always happen at the same time.

Please tell me if you need any more information.

I can confirm this behaviour on my machine.
Additionally, I can't unlock "Login screen configuration" form.
It seems to be policy management issue.

It seems to be fixed on my computer by now. Maybe some update did it?
