  on users

Bug description:
  I'm using Lucid 10.04 Desktop x86 and understand that a few releases
  ago, it was implemented that other users logged on could not shutdown
  the machine when other users are logged on but when the user has
  locked the screen (and other users are presented with the password
  they can select switch user and at the system login screen they can
  select shutdown or restart and the system won't ask for any other
  confirmation or other popup message.
