There is no sense in preventing non admin users from shutting down the computer since local users may force shutdown.
A least, there could be a prompt for admin password in order to force all users logout before shutdown.

Title:
  "Restart" and "Shut Down" don't work if anyone else is logged in

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  gnome-session 3.1.91-0ubuntu2, lightdm 0.9.7-0ubuntu1, indicator-
  session 0.3.5.1-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 11.10 beta

  1. Start up the computer.
  2. At the login screen, choose "Restart", and confirm it.
  3. Log in.
  4. From the device menu, choose "Restart", and confirm it.
  5. Log in again.
  6. Switch to a guest session.
  7. Switch back to your user account.
  8. From the device menu, choose "Restart", and confirm it.
  9. From the login screen, choose "Restart", and confirm it.

  What happens:
  2. The computer restarts.
  4. The computer restarts.
  8. Ubuntu returns to the login screen.
  9. Nothing at all.

  What should happen:
  2. The computer restarts.
  4. The computer restarts.
  8. The computer restarts.
  9. The computer restarts.

  The same problem happens with "Shut Down". At a terminal, "sudo
  reboot" and "sudo shutdown" work as expected.

  See also bug 838792, where "Restart" logs out with no-one else logged
  in (that bug does not occur for me). While testing this bug I also
  triggered bug 740382.
