We're both right! I did, in fact register two separate bugs in the past hour; 
however, I see that somehow it was recorded as three bugs 618512, 618413, and 
the second real bug 618517.
Apologies. Thanks for keeping me honest. 
Vurious how that could have happened though?

You seem to have filed two bugs by mistake. I'm marking this one as a
dupe.

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm

00] Environment -  two users logged in. There is a dedicated root-user account, 
with a dedicated password, and the other users have NO sudoer privileges.
01] User#1 request to shut down the machine using gnome panel applet
02] response is a black screen with authorization window requiring password 
(picture of keys on left side) and warning that another user is logged in.
[[  BTW  ### Nothing in the message states which of the three passwords are 
being requested!  ]]
03] Each of the three passwords are tried at least once
[[  BTW  ### None of the passwords are REPORTED to have been accepted   ]]
04] After a final shudder and claim that the password could NOT be 
authenticated, the authentication window disappears, and the GDM greeter screen 
appears.
[[  HUH?!  Did it just 'give up', or did it mis-report a proper password 
authentification as improper? If so, which password?  ]]
05] The GDM greeter allows the computer to be shut down using the button on the 
right side of the lower panel.
[[ But this happedned without authentification !! ]]
