Comment (by jdreed):

 Right, ok, this problem was a false positive.  What
 "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Authorization is
 required" actually means is "You asked to reboot, but someone else is
 logged in, and you're not root, so go away."   The "problem" here is that
 unlike all other greeters, our greeter actually bothers to check the
 return value when asking lightdm to initiate a reboot.   I'll catch the
 error and display a more useful message.
