Lost the Shutdown button from gnome menu

Hello forum,

I've recently lost the Shutdown button from the gnome menu. It's gone!

It might have coincided with recent system update.

(Or it might have coincided with me trying to install nautilus-elementary with yaourt and the terminal crashing while I was messing around with some compiz settings simultaneously. Maybe something got corrupted. Or maybe not. :*O) lol)

Anyhow, it's annoying not having a Shutdown button in the gnome menu.

Maybe one of you caring souls could help me get it back.

Cheers

Update: read some other topics of people with the same problem

As a temporary fix logging in with gdm brings back the Shutdown button.

But I would rather not have login manager if I didn't have to.

I'm wondering why the shutdown button is gone with exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Lost the Shutdown button from gnome menu

Not alone I have no shutdown button either as normal user.If I log in as root it's there.So I created a custom launcher to panel.
sudo shutdown -h now.
Then added this to /etc/inittab
x:45:once:/bin/su USERNAME -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
but its not ideal
