Bug#568822: Gnome shows the login screen on shutdown

[Rodrigo Valiña Gutiérrez]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.11-2
Severity: normal

I have a similar problem in testing: when I select shutdown from gnome or
from login window, sometimes shuts down, sometimes not.
When it does not shutdown, it shows the virtual terminal 1, and nothing
happens.
If I execute after:
# shutdown -h now
the system shuts down but takes more time than normal, and complains about
gdm and other processes not being terminated.
