After all this trouble of not being able to shutdown from the GUI, I discovered in Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome, the shutdown features were intact!They weren't missing, right from the start! I verified that in KDE which I installed a while ago. In Gnome, the gear on the top right, next to the user name was missing! In the root desktop, the gear containing the shutdown function was next to "root"! That worked fine also! In order to shut down I had to put the mouse-pointer into the top right corner and the drop-down menu with "Shutdown" included amongst other choices were all displayed! I'd click on shutdown and another window popped up. Shutdown and restart were options. Worked nicely. Looks like there was no shutdown bug at all!
