[gentoo-user] Selecting "Shut Down" from the gnome menu sometimes shuts down the computer and other times just logs out.

I am currently using 64-Bit Gentoo and when shut down is selected from
the menu in gnome, sometimes the computer flickers to the login screen
then shuts down, other times it just shuts down.  Why is it behaving
like this and how do I fix it?

Thanks,
