Have you made any change to your system recently ie. installed software, performed updates, ran terminal commands, anything?

Does this command work?

Code:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop

Open Lite Tweaks => Login & Logout Options... select "Show all Options" and Apply. Then logout and login again... Shutdown and Restart buttons should be enabled once again.

Sorry for seeming stupid and preferring Linux - I just don't know any better.
