Don't see why it would - it has been installed and running as long as F10.  
It's either an update (and I don't remember one in the last 24 hours) or a 
config change somewhere.  SystemSettings still says that Everybody can shut 
down.

Of course it's possible that something is hanging and that it's waiting for a 
timeout.  I left it a few minutes, but not for an hour or more.  But if it 
were that, would clicking on the desktop bring it back to life?
