Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When more than 1 user is logged in, selecting 'Restart' from the power
menu on gdm does not do anything and returns no error. When restarting
from within a session when more than 1 user is logged, a dialog is
thrown asking for elevated privileges to confirm the action, but this
does not happen while in gdm.
Steps to reproduce:
Login as user1
Switch back to gdm and login as user2 as well
Switch back from user2 to gdm and select restart
What I expected to happen
Login as user1
Switch back to gdm and login as user2 as well
Switch back from user2 to gdm and select restart
Dialog popped asking for credentials of an admin user
System restarts
I'm pretty sure this happens with shutdown as well, I will test that now
and amend this report
