    don't know why that wouldn't be working but you can always run this under root user to shutdown

    Code:
    shutdown -h now
    or reboot
    Code:
    shutdown -r now

    problem solved

    System -> Administration -> Login Window -> Local under "Menu Bar", the item "Show Actions menu" is checked.
