Bug Description

Type in a shell "sudo shutdown -P +10".

During the time shutdown is running it is impossible to shutdown the computer from the menu. If you try to logout you get the login prompt and you can't login.

You need to wait until "shutdown -P +10" has finished running.

I can see this problem in xubuntu, I can however login using gdm.

Not an Upstart bug; upstart is quite compatible with sysvinit in this regard. Running shutdown while an existing one is running is not permitted; gdm should cancel the existing shutdown first (or actually tell you the system is shutting down already and give you a countdown or option to proceed anyway)

affects: upstart (Ubuntu) → gdm (Ubuntu)

The shutdown is handled by Consolekit, and the D-bus interface is too limited at the minute for GDM to be able to do anything about this
