Public bug reported:
I added polkit restrictions preventing anybody from shutting down (using
settings from http://askubuntu.com/a/454230/158442). As restrictions are
added or removed, entries from the greeter's Shutdown confirmation
dialog change. When there are no permissions, just the question is
displayed, with no selectable options. I suggest that no message, or
better yet, no menu item, be displayed if no permissions are present. (I
have restricted shutdown permissions in a lab to prevent well-meaning
students from unneccessarily shutting down PCs).
