Bug#568822: gdm: Shutdown completely broken

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: gdm
Severity: normal

Since my daily dist-upgrade on testing yesterday, shutdown from GNOME
(gdm) doesn't work anymore. When choosing shutdown from within GNOME, I
get logged out and then see the login screen. This is the same as what
was reported before.

But when doing shutdown from the login screen, all that happens is that
gdm gets terminated. Then nothing happens. No shutdown.

So, it seems that shutdown from GNOME is completely broken.

I'm not 100% sure that this is what is meant in the original bug report.
If not, please split the bug.
