On my Intrepid system, in System > Administration > Authorizations, the setting for org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown is Yes for the Active Console user, and I am rather confident I have not changed this setting. Sounds like somebody changed it to Authentication on your system, or perhaps this is a setting from an earlier version of Ubuntu which wasn't properly uṕdated when you upgraded. In any event, this is clearly outside the scope of what is being discussed here. Please file a separate bug if you want to report a different problem.
