Hi, Yes I am using GDM, I have not changed the GDM config myself, but I believe something has ( I can only assume the application of a theme as I have lost my shutdown buttons from gdm also)
Here is a prudent portion of my gdm config # The Actions menu (formerly system menu) is shown in the greeter, this is the # menu that contains reboot, shutdown, suspend, config and chooser. None of # these is available if this is off. They can be turned off individually # however. SystemMenu=true # Configuration is available from the system menu of the greeter. ConfigAvailable=false # Should the chooser button be shown. If this is shown, GDM can drop into # chooser mode which will run the xdmcp chooser locally and allow the user to # connect to some remote host. Local XDMCP does not need to be enabled, # however. ChooserButton=true I am not using XGL/Compiz/Beryl anything like that -- Missing Shutdown and Reboot buttons from gnome "power" button https://launchpad.net/bugs/93551 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
