I requested this change[1], because gtk-logout-helper requires a patch for gnome-session to support RequestShutdown and RequestReboot DBus requests, which is now rejected by upstream[2]. I'm packaging indicator-session for Arch Linux, and I need to make it usable with vanilla gnome-session. ConsoleKit is no longer available in Arch Linux, so it's not an option.
The only way to shutdown/restart over DBus on Arch Linux is to use logind[3], but It isn't supported by gtk-logout-helper yet.
