I believe I've seen this problem while PolicyKit-0.8-2.fc9.i386 was 
installed on my system.

I'm o.k. if #7350 fixes this problem.

But the initial #7350 description talks about "can't shutdown .. if 
multiple sessions".  I normally don't use the text console, and I 
clicked on 'Shutdown' in the Home view -- so I think I've had this 
problem even when I did not have "multiple sessions".

[Also, the initial #7350 description does not talk about seeing the 
ending picture on ctl-alt-F2 instead of on ctl-alt-F3.]
