Bug Description
I'm not sure how to reproduce it. It happened about 2 days after installing Ubuntu. I think it was when I was trying to patch it to allow external module creation (something that was in kernel 2.6.13 but not in 2.6.15--a driver needed it). I never did get the patch applied though, so maybe it was when I ran build-essentials that it happened. Others have said it happened when they tried to add other desktops (to use instead of gnome).
Anyway, what happened is the shut down and restart buttons are gone when you click the red power button icon. Hibernate is just one really really wide screen.

You have to be running GDM in order for those buttons to appear.
This requirement will go away when the next version of gnome-panel uses
gnome-power-manager for shutting down.
