[Bug 57548] Shut Down and Restart buttons gone--hibernate instead

[maco]

Public bug reported:

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.
