---- SRU ----
[Impact]
KDE users using LightDM as a display manager do not get entries in the K menu to shutdown and reboot. Additionally, switching sessions does not work.

[Development Fix]
Fixed upstream in both master and KDE/4.7. The fix mainly consists of updating KDE code to current LightDM DBus interfaces.

[Stable Fix]
Same fix as the development fix, see debdiff.

[Test Case]
- Select LightDM as your display manager
- Start a KDE session
- Open the K menu, go to the "Leave" section
- Notice the lack of "Restart" and "Shut down" items

[Regression Potential]
No expected regression.

---- Original Description ----
I assume this is ConsoleKit related. I do not know if it affects the Gnome desktop too. Will investigate further later.
