Bug Description

In "GNOME/Classic no effects" session, I added a "Main Menu" button (applet?). If I use that menu and select "Shut Down", a window pops up offering suspend/reboot options.

If "Reboot" button is clicked, I get loged out of the current session, but no reboot takes place.

After I logged back in, I repeated the process and, once again, got logged out instead of reboot.

I just rebooted and the bug is no longer there (the button does indeed reboot).

What I also noticed, is that yesterday the "Reboot" button in that dialog was on the left, but now there's a "Suspend" button, and the "Reboot" button is next to it.

I'm thinking I installed something (that introduced that Suspend button) and that's what caused the buttons to temporarily be broken.
