Bug#749279: gnome-shell: shutdown not working without systemd as init

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-8+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The shutdown function in Gnome shell (click on the menu on the top right corner
of the screen then choose the shutdown option) is not working anymore.

I switched to systemd by installing systemd-sysv package and this solved the
current issue.

I think it's a important bug for an everyday use of Debian.

Another workaround for now, if you don't want to change the default init, may
be to give sudo access to the shutdown command, but that sounds weird no?
