Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: policykit

After upgrade to Karmic, I can no longer shutdown or restart from the
gnome session menu. When chosing shutdown, the system logs out, but
comes back to the gnome login screen.

There is a WARNING/ERROR in /var/log/daemon.log:

Dec 29 12:59:39 purple gnome-session[1841]: WARNING: Unable to stop
system: Not privileged for action:
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no

I tried changing lines in the config files:
/usr/local/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy
and
/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.policykit.policy

Both had:
 <action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop">
    <description>Stop the system</description>
    <message>System policy prevents stopping the system</message>
    <defaults>
      <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    </defaults>
  </action>

but changes <allow_inactive> to 'yes' does not fix the problem.
