My problem seems similar, except that in my case it seems to "automatically" opt for the shutdown option. Happens once in a while too, but not consistently, so really hard to figure out how to reproduce it.
Pretty horrible bug when you're thinking about hibernating/suspending but instead get a forced shutdown... :| -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170783 Title: Opening shutdown dialog immediately triggers reboot Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: gnome-session package version: 3.8.0-0ubuntu1~raring1 Since switching to Ubuntu 13.04, clicking on "Shutdown ..." from the menu makes the shutdown dialog pop up for a second and automatically triggers a system reboot. This behavior can be seen in about four out of five times. The same problem occurs when the power button of the PC is pressed.
