Public bug reported:

Dear audience,

when trying to shutdown the system from the Lubuntu  "Logout" menu item,
a dialog pops up telling me that "System policy prevents stopping the
system when other users are logged in. Authentication is needed to
perform this action".

Fine, so far.

But, after 5 seconds, the dialog disappears, not giving me the chance to
enter my password.

I could trace that down to polkit action "consolekit stop-multiple-
users" and the lxsession-logout program, but then I'm lost. I can't see
where the timeout can be increased.

When I logout all sessions on the system, the shutdown takes place immediately 
without authentication needed.
When I do other tasks, e.g. system updates, authentication dialogs come up and 
stay forever, long enough to enter passwords.
