The problem will be solved with the next release. Don't ask me when, I
don't know. We're late.

If you know what you're doing, you can safely take the sources from our svn : 
svn co svn://svn.tuxfamily.org/svnroot/gshutdown/gshutdown
And compile it (./autogen.sh maybe twice and make && sudo make install)
We've add a new mechanism using dbus to shutdown the computer. It should work 
(at least it works on my computer running ubuntu 8.04).

Else you have 2 options :
- Configure your sudo to allow shutdown to be run as root without typing a 
password. And then configure gshutdown to use this custom command : sudo 
shutdown -h now

- Run gshutdown as root (gksu gshutdown) and configure gshutdown to use
the custom command : shutdown -h now

This should work with any window and desktop manager.

Obviously, if you use the development version, please report any bugs.
