A simple fix would be to drop the user to GDM if shutdown is prohibited,
no auth dialog shown. (This would probably be confusing for the user and
needs a followup bug to fix properly)

Thank you for your bug report.
I can't recreate this either, it could be a consequence of a behaviour defined
while the desktop user is connected but the ssh user still see him. Could you
try the following and see what happen?
Two users logged in, one via desktop and other via ssh. Desktop
2. SSH user sees two users logged in BUT he decides to shut down computer.
3. Something happen to SSH user
I don't see how these steps makes sense -- the ssh user can shut down
fine with reboot/halt, as those tools don't use consolekit.
BTW, I meant consolekit, not policykit in the submission.
Thanks for test it, but at the end it wasn't really necessary at all as
you said. It happens since a year or more and you are not the first who
report it, so I changed the status to confirmed and importance to
wishlist because it is a defined behaviour in some time time in the
past. Anyway someone
Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting
are more than a simple change and may require more discussion. I am
marking this Wishlist. This does not mean your issue is not important to
resolve. It simply means we will be looking at changing defaults in
Ubuntu. Thanks
