The problem is that the /var/run/console stuff is redhat specfic (I
haven't looked at it, but based on the begin of this thread, it is
pam.d/reboot).
Once you know what redhat did, this certainly is easy, I am just trying
to bring us back to the point that the bug report referenced is a
distribution agnostic way for gnome-session to handle the shutdown
options. Of course, the distribution still has to come up with the
method of authenticating the user.
