Title:
  gdm allows shutdown when other accounts open

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  00] Environment -  two users logged in. There is a dedicated root-user account, with a dedicated password, and the other users have NO sudoer privileges.
  01] User#1 request to shut down the machine using gnome panel applet
  02] response is a black screen with authorization window requiring password (picture of keys on left side) and warning that another user is logged in.
  [[  BTW  ### Nothing in the message states which of the three passwords are being requested!  ]]
  03] Each of the three passwords are tried at least once
  [[  BTW  ### None of the passwords are REPORTED to have been accepted   ]]
  04] After a final shudder and claim that the password could NOT be authenticated, the authentication window disappears, and the GDM greeter screen appears.
  [[  HUH?!  Did it just 'give up', or did it mis-report a proper password authentification as improper? If so, which password?  ]]
  05] The GDM greeter allows the computer to be shut down using the button on the right side of the lower panel.
  [[ But this happedned without authentification !! ]]
