Yes, but /I/ knew what you meant.  I just don't know the answer.

Do you mean that you press the button, it hilites, but then nothing else
happens, so you press it again, it hilites, and the system shuts down?  Or
do you mean that you press the button, nothing happens, you close the
dialog, choose the menu command again, press the button, and the system
shuts down?  I ask because if I have the mouse over a button at the wrong
time it won't actually activate when pressed until I move the mouse off it
and back on, so I'm asking for more precision here.

For that matter, what happens if you issue (as root) "shutdown -h now"?
Does that sometime not do anything?  Probably it always works, but it would
be nice to know in order to isolate the problem (if it isn't the button
itself).

Occasionally I and I think others get hung up on a dialog about saving
work, but that dialog is hidden behind another window.  For me, the taskbar
button is then throbbing, so I know something is happening, but the
computer doesn't shut down.  Probably this is not what you're seeing.
