Jean-François, I am running stable. I did not upgrade gnome-power
manager recently. When logging as you ask me to do, I have a
``shutdown'' button, yes.

If you're trying to log in as root from gdm, this behaviour is normal.
You should log in as root from another console (tty1, for example), kill
GDM and then startx.

For the "No shutdown" problem, are you running stable? If not, did you
upgrade gnome-power-manager recently? This package has caused such
problems already.

I receive ``the administrator is not allowed to log in from this
screen.'' I am thus unable to log graphically in as root.

Very special...

Guess . . .

Perhaps a permissions issue. That is, perhaps the user doesn't have
the permissions necessary to shutdown and Gnome doesn't offer the
option to such a user. What happens if you start you Gnome session as
root? Do you have the shutdown option then?

No "Shut Down..." option in "System" menu

2009-11-01 Thread Merciadri Luca 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I have no "shut down..." option in my "System" menu (I am using GNOME
front-end). I am thus obliged to shut down using the terminal. How can
I make these buttons appearing?

Thanks.
