Do you mean that you press the button, it hilites, but then nothing else happens, so you press it again, it hilites, and the system shuts down? Or do you mean that you press the button, nothing happens, you close the dialog, choose the menu command again, press the button, and the system shuts down? I ask because if I have the mouse over a button at the wrong time it won't actually activate when pressed until I move the mouse off it and back on, so I'm asking for more precision here.
I press the button (it hilites) , window closes but nothing happens: when I repeat procedure everything is fine.
For that matter, what happens if you issue (as root) "shutdown -h now"? Does that sometime not do anything? Probably it always works, but it would be nice to know in order to isolate the problem (if it isn't the button itself).
shutdown -h is o.k. I issued from a su terminal as /sbin/shutdown -h and it worked
