Inaccessible logout and reset dialogs

[nolan]

Do we know what causes these?

It appears to me to be highly random, that or it depends on factors 
which I'm tweaking without knowing it. It looks like /etc/sudoers as 
shipped includes the necessary ATK variables in the environment, though 
I don't know if that's relevant in this instance. I also tried with a 
/root/.orbitrc present, as well as one in my home directory.

At one point I got it working, thinking that the key was the lack of a 
orbitrc in $HOME (yeah, I know, I'm reaching. :) It seems to work, or 
not, then keep that working/non-working state throughout the session. I 
tested both the shutdown and logout dialogs several times in the 
previous working session and they worked like a charm. In this session, 
though, both refuse to work repeatedly. Strange how this behavior is so 
non-deterministic, seems like it should either just work or just not. :)

Thoughts?
