Hi I agree this is likey coming from a configuration, however gdm appears to be configured to enable the correct settings, I've swapped gtk and gdm themes to see if they make a difference. I agree this is a low priority but if this does turn out to be a bug perhaps say with a downloaded update then this could effect more people.
I'd be happy to work with people to resolve this but I have taken this as far as I can at this moment by verfying the settings "should" work therefore I can only assume there is something else at work. -- 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
