Same with me Ubuntu 12.10. Following some updates Restart and Shut down from the graphic interface no longer work bringing up to the login screen. I have several graphic interfaces and they all fail - Unity, Gnome Shell, xfce and lxde. You go to the login screen when you select Power Off or Restart from the graphic menu. On the login screen these options do nothing. Terminal "sudo poweroff" and "sudo reboot" commands bith work fine, but it is rather disturbing having to open a terminal and type my password each time I want to turn off or reboot my machine.
