I found a possible solution to this bug. It has something to do with the
auto login function in the user management from Unity. When activated it
cannot shutdown anymore. Also disable the auto login is not possible
anymore.

What I did: 
$sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

remove the line:
autologin-user= YOUR USERNAME

Restart your computer with:
$sudo shutdown -h now

After that I had a system that worked normally again.

Title:
  "Restart" logs out, even when there are no other people logged in

Status in The Session Menu:
  Invalid
Status in Unity Foundations:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Trying to restart the computer from within a unity session causes the
  session to log out, instead of actually restarting the computer.

  1. Boot up oneiric
  2. Log in
  3. Click on the Power button obscured by a tiny gear on the top and far right of the screen
  4. Click "Shutdown..."
  5. When asked, "Are you sure you want to close all programs and shut down the computer?", select "Restart" (it's on the bottom left of the dialog)

  Instead of restarting, you will be logged out.
