Hi, maybe im late to comment. But i just want to sharing because i get this 
problem too. I use ubuntu 12.04 and can not shutdown or restart from lightdm. 
To fix this i remove lightdm.
in terminal:

sudo aptget purge lightdm unity-greeter
sudo apt-get install lightdm unity-greeter
sudo usermod -a -G lightdm yourusername  (example sudo usermod -a -G lightdm 
joe)
sudo reboot

And i can click shutdown and restart from lightdm again :)
Hope this works. Bye
