Public bug reported: I'm not sure how to reproduce it. It happened about 2 days after installing Ubuntu. I think it was when I was trying to patch it to allow external module creation (something that was in kernel 2.6.13 but not in 2.6.15--a driver needed it). I never did get the patch applied though, so maybe it was when I ran build-essentials that it happened. Others have said it happened when they tried to add other desktops (to use instead of gnome).
Anyway, what happened is the shut down and restart buttons are gone when you click the red power button icon. Hibernate is just one really really wide screen. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=242210 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=239302 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234048 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192871 Those posts are all about this bug.
