Mh, I think it was a design decision not to do this... Actually to
prevent this to happen we had to use some workarounds, so I think this
is a Won't fix.

Title:
  Shutdown dialog doesn't shutdown automatically after given time

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  New shutdown/reboot/logout dialog (transparent UI introduced in 13.04)
  doesn't proceed after a given time. So after running 'gnome-session-
  quit --power-off' in a script the user will have to press a button or
  the system will never shutdown.

  In old dialog (<= 12.10) there was a countdown starting at 60sec which
  shutdown the system after ran out. This made it possible to shutdown a
  system automatically from command line without extra user interaction.

  The dbus method which triggers the dialog indicate that there is such a function:
  ~$ qdbus org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/SessionManager/EndSessionDialog
  [...]
  method void org.gnome.SessionManager.EndSessionDialog.Open(uint type, uint arg_1, uint max_wait, QList<QDBusObjectPath> inhibitors)

  I'd expect 'max_wait' is seconds until proceed shutdown. But it
  doesn't work.

  ---------------------
  I know there is an alternative with 'sudo shutdown -h now' and I also know how to make that sudo command password-less. But that would only work on my own system. I need this functionality for a OSS project where I don't want to mess around in users '/etc/sudoers' file. All other Desktop Environs I know have such a feature except Unity >= 13.04
