I've intermittently had this problem on multiple versions of multiple
distros. I think of it as being part of the plan --- just the way life
is.

If you're really concerned about it, you could put in a (complicated)
hotkey combo to run a shellscript that runs poweroff, and make sure that
poweroff is set in sudoers to run as root and require no password
(assuming this is a personal computer, and not a multiuser).

By the way, if you happen to be booting to the command prompt and then
running startx, Xfce is functioning as designed when it grays out its
shutdown and reboot buttons.
