Well, if you are on the physical console you typically also have access to the
power button or power cord. So if the system annoys you with password prompts
when trying to shut down you simply can force the system off the hard way. You
can also switch consoles and press ctrl-alt-del to reboot any time without
authentication. Therefore my opinion on the matter is that restricting shut
down for the local console doesn't make sense by default.
However, it would be nice if gdm could warn that there are still other users
logged in and offer not not shut down. That way prevents accidental shutdowns
but does not hinder you to shut down the machine if you really need to.
Reassigning to gdm maintainer.
[I noticed an inconsistency between consolekit and logind privileges though,
will adjust logind privileges to also allow shutdown for multiple sessions]
