How do I repair the shut-down/Log-off button?

Question

I use the computer with 2 users.

With one user all works fine.

With the second user account, the shut down and log-off buttons do not work anymore while screen locking standby and hibernation still works. (i refer to the buttons very right of the top panel).

How can I get back the functionality of log-off and more importantly, shut down?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same. Ss a workaround you can create a launcher on the desktop to call:

/usr/lib/indicator-session/gtk-logout-helper --shutdown

BTW, there are also --restart and --logout options.
