rebooting from panel menu

[Jonathan Kamens]

org/freedesktop/consolekit/system/Stop the system says "Active Console: Yes", but it still doesn't work when I try to do a restart from the active console.

Perhaps these errors in .xession-errors have something to do with it:

[WARN  9585] polkit-session.c:285:polkit_session_get_ck_objref(): session != NULL
 Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
[WARN  9585] polkit-session.c:321:polkit_session_get_ck_is_local(): session != NULL
 Not build with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtarce
[WARN  9585] polkit-session.c:303:polkit_session_get_ck_is_active(): session != NULL
 Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

Do I get to file a bug yet? :-)

Sorry, what you're really looking for there is not hal->power-management, 
because that would be the auth for the system to shutdown for power reasons (the 
script you're trying to run manually).  That is the correct spot to configure 
that behavior.

The restart/shutdown behavior for the gnome menu items is in 
org->freedesktop->consolekit->system.  That should let you reboot from the menu 
if you're authed there.
