Gnome shutdown menu option doesn't shutdown system.
Last modified: 2009-12-21 04:48:00 UTC
When I login to a GNOME desktop and choose to shutdown the system from the traditional gnome menu then when the shutdown menu appears I select shutdown. It logs me out but doesn't shutdown the system. If I try the same thing from KDE it works.

After https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558250#c6 I installed Gnome and I found three problems after it. One of them is the present one: When I choose to shutdown the system from the gnome menu it logs me out but doesn't shutdown the system. So, I have to shutdown my system from the login screen menu. However, once, the system didnot shutdown but kill the Xserver only. I logged in as root and order from bash init 0, but the system didnot shutdown but halted and I had to press the power button till the PC shutdown. I work with SuSE 11.2 Final (its Gnome official release), and, although I want it to be corrected, I am not a Gnome user, and after installing Gnome I have problems with my audio device, etc. So I think this issues are not mere cosmetic but profound. That is the reason I want to share with you this experience, thus I could help. I attach my hardware information an my installed packages.
