I think there's some misunderstanding. When I say - I can't reboot - I mean that it cannot be done despite the state of the VM and the fact of loaded OS or not. Every time I need to shutdown or reboot VM which does not support ACPI or just hasn't loaded OS I have to use kill program to send SIGTERM to the KVM process. I don't think this is the bug in Ubuntu package - this issue should go to upstream.
But saying that this issue fixed is wrong as the title states that by pressing button I should expect reboot or shutdown and don't care how it was done in code - via invoking kill prog via ssh or by the way of managing guest ACPI functions.
I think that there is no big problem to add two more buttons in GUI - force shutdown (kill specific KVM process) or reboot (kill and re-run).
