It's because you are NOT 'root' while you are shutting down your pc.

It will depend on your requirements. If you use Linux heavily e.g.
development and internet, and little use on Windows for office use(i.e.,
excel) then it is better to run Windows as the guest OS and desktop Linux as
the host. I recommend setting the memory of the Windows guest to a minimum
of 2Gb or more, and 4Gb for the host and this will require a 64-bit Linux
host.
But if you use Windows heavily for example gaming and any other Windows
specific applications, then you must follow above in a reverse format with a
recommendation that you will install a Windows 7 64-bit edition as the host.
Just my two-cents.

It's probably an Indicator Applet Session 0.3.7 bug so you need to use
another panel applet (like the "Shut down..." applet) to shut your computer
down. I never experienced it, though.

Here's a weird workaround from somebody who experienced the same problem<http://www.ecalpemos.org/2010/05/ubuntu-1004-lucid-will-not-shut-down.html>
*Getting the laptop to shut down*
Right click on the bar at the top of the screen select "Add to panel" and
add the power off button. This seems to shut down the power OK.
I never experienced this, though.

"It's because you are NOT 'root' while you are shutting down your pc. "

Please kindly explain further. In Linux would it mean that we cannot shutdown as a normal user? Although in the CLI, it is only the root user who can issue the command, how can you apply or "runas" root when you press the shutdown button?
