This problem still persists in 12.04 and 12.10, at least with Unity (if that
matters).
My solution is to shutdown via a terminal session, which works well (as long as
sudo is used).
Work-around:
1. Open a terminal
2. Type either of the following to shutdown or restart:
......$ sudo shutdown now
......$ sudo shutdown -r now
/alfs

Cannot shutdown/restart with multiple users logged in

Bug description:
This is Oneric 32 bit Intel fully updated on a Dell Vostro 3400
laptop.
I cannot shutdown/restart from the gear icon on the top right corner
if there are multiple users logged in. It simply logs me out and takes
me to the lightdm login screen.
I remember that it used to warn that other users are logged in through
a dialog box but would allow me to shutdown/restart anyway if I
entered my password.
