Here are a couple of possible solutions to this issue. It has been
reported in launchpad as a bug before.

I have not tried either of these, as I don't have this issue.

1.  From questions and answers [1]:
For your shutdown dialog issue
--------------------------------------

Please open a Terminal from the menu
Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

rm ~/.config/autostart/gnome-power-manager
rm -rf ~/.config/autostart

Then please tune your starting services under menu:
System->Administration-> .... And please keep running the Power manager
service

2.  From a bug report [2]:

Is the "Show Actions menu" option enabled in gdmsetup? Seems like this
option is somehow linked to the logout window options: the "Shut Down"
and "Restart" buttons do not get displayed if this option has been
turned off. At least that is the case on my laptop with Hardy installed.

Good luck,
