Bug Description
I have two users on this system, Alexander (primary) and Troep (privileges: defaults for a new user, except for automatic access to external storage devices).
As Alexander, I used 'sudo apt-get upgrade' to install updates; this included some updates for compiz. While installing, I switched to user Troep. Apparently the updates had now finished installing, so I got a dialog box saying something about compiz needing a reboot. I clicked "restart now" to confirm it was really possible to reboot the computer. This was possible without further authorization, even though Alexander was still logged in.
Normally, Troep is not and should not be able restart the system while Alexander is still logged in, but this dialog allowed it anyway.
I have not yet tried to reproduce this.
Visual effects has been set to (none) for both users.
Using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (beta).
