Currently (and for the past 2 months or so), all our Debian Squeeze
boxes suffer from not being able to shutdown/restart/logout from the
gnome menu. Our only option is to do a 'switch user' and then
shutdown/restart from gdm. Probably something with
polkit/gnome-keyring-daemon, but I cannot find any errors in the logs
which makes this hard to debug.

Our problems are probably unrelated, but I feel your pain :)
