Performed the latest updates yesterday and the Shutdown button is greyed out and selecting shutdown from the System pull down menu only allows for Suspend and Hibernate. All this was working prior to the updates. I am using Gnome on an Acer Aspire Notebook. Trying Shutdown now from a terminal su'd to root only seemed to shutdown X. This was a problem a few weeks ago but was fixed but looks like it has regressed !
I must admit to not reading the latest release notes so maybe this is a new 'Feature' :-)

working here on Acer5720. Are you sure to have completed all updates ???
I have all the updates presented to me, I use YUMEX. I have however delved a little further and found the following :
I have two users on the system, as we cannot any longer graphically log on as root I have one on the sudoers list and the other as a normal user. The normal user can perform graphical shutdown the sudoer user cannot. I removed the shutdown button applet for the sudoers user and when I tried to add it again, the applet was not available for selection.
I have a workaround, logoff as the sudoer list and shutdown from the logon screen, so I guess I will delve further, its either something to do with sudoers or something in my Gnome configuration for the sudoer user.
I guess the hurt we go through is why its called being on the cutting edge !

I had the same problem after the updates, but once you get it rebooted and logged back in, the shutdown/restart buttons are back again.
Logging out/rebooting did not fix the problem for me, todays updates, however, seem to have done the trick
