Bug Description
I've already reported this upstream, but I'd like to SRU it to 16.04 after it's fixed upstream.
This (https:/
Nowadays it prevents LTSP fat clients from shutting down. Fat clients is the recommended LTSP setup, and they run the session locally on the client, so having a shutdown button there is required.
As for thin clients, preventing server shutdown is taken care of by policykit, there's no need to check for an environment variable in the MATE code (btw I'm an LTSP developer).
So, I'd like to ask you to please revert commit 8c25e1b.
[Test Case]
Log in to an LTSP client running Ubuntu MATE.
Enable the Redmond menu, where the shutdown menu should be shown.
Verify that the shutdown menu is missing, and that it's displayed when the commit is reverted.
