I ran into this same problem with 14.04 and 14.10. In 14.10, instead of the usual symptom of no shutdown/restart pop up, it restarts the session leaving me at the log in screen. I have to kill the cairo-dock-launcher- API-daemon process in order to get the shutdown/restart dialog.
I made the same edits noted in post #17 with the sleep value of 15, rebooted and it seems to be working again.
