What about the good old "Three Finger Salut" ctrl-alt-delete ??.
If that works then i suggest you read the man page for shutdown, possably
there is an entry in /etc/shutdown.allow which could have some influence on
the origanal question, altho' thats a little bit of guess work.
If it is GPM related then gpm is being started with some or another wrong
option.
