Hi I get that same thing. Have you tried to do a 'setenforce 0' as root just before you do a Gnome shutdown? I tried that just now and it still halted at the console prompt (I boot into run level 3 and then do a 'startx' as user to go to Gnome after boot up) A few weeks ago, I could shutdown from the Gnome menu, but perhaps that was a bug in Gnome. A user should not be able to shutdown the system (!!). When I am at the console prompt and try to do '/sbin/shutdown -r now', I get the message now that only root can shutdown (this is proper). Whether a user can shut down from the Gnome menu seems to be not a selinux issue, but just a normal security 'tighterning up' - independent of selinux.
