No way to shut down from, gdm in F-10

[Steve Grubb]

Hi,

I booted F-10 up into run level 3. Logged in as root. Did some things and ran 
init 5. After I was done using the computer, I wanted to shut it down. There 
is absolutely nothing that I can click on that will let me shutdown the 
computer. (Try it.) What I ended up doing is logging in and opening a terminal 
and typing poweroff, but I don't think that is the right way for a gdm session 
to end. 

Why are we doing it like this?

The restart/shutdown buttons aren't at the bottom of the login box in gdm?

Yep they sure are. Clicking on it says it can't shutdown. Try it.

Hmm...this is strange and I can't reproduce it now. Shutting down dumped me to 
the gdm login screen. Nothing there would let me shutdown. There were buttons 
to click on, but it said that it couldn't when I clicked on things. Next time 
I see this I'll try to gather more info.

It's handled via ConsoleKit - is it running? Is it functioning correctly?

I believe its running. But gdm now has no way of shutting down if you log in 
and type init 5. If you boot to run level 5 its OK.

Was both your console login and gdm on the same tty?

Did you try cancelling the login?

That's required on boxes that have the user list disabled to get the
buttons at all. They should probably be buttons in the status panel.
