This is to confirm that this dead serious. Immediately after install, I remember being able to shutdown at least once using the indicator applet shutdown menu option. But ever since, there has not been a single instance when I have been able to shutdown or restart through that route.
An additional piece of information is that desktop computers don't seem to display this problem. They are able to shutdown/restart normally. But it does seem to plague notebooks. Another notebook computer (Toshiba Satellite) faces the same problem. I would say that while at one level this may seem not such a serious problem, but it is serious enough to stop me from switching other users to Ubuntu, much as I would like to, because I don't see them taking this opening terminal typing sudo halt business lightly.
