confusing specially for new Ubuntu Users.

Right, everybody agrees that the issue is annoying, but the bug is not
fixed yet is due to lack of manpower (and the fact that the bug is not
that trivial to fix), not because the settings were not set higher,
setting to High but it's not going to automagically resolve the issue...

  Shutdown from greeter does nothing when multiple accounts open

Bug description:
  Selecting shutdown from the greeter does nothing when multiple
  accounts are open.

  This is because the lightdm user (which the greeter runs as) does not
  have permission to shutdown while sessions are open.  Inside a normal
  session this would just return you to the login screen.

  The solution is either for the indicator to say "not allowed" or to
  run a PolicyKit frontend in the greeter than can get the required
  permissions to perform the shutdown.
