This is somewhat amusing, as it seems the more common question on the
list is the reverse: people who have the restart/shutdown items greyed
out and can't figure out how to enable them.

At any rate, you've apparently inadvertently allowed your regular users
to execute xfsm-shutdown-helper (which usually lives in /usr/libexec) as
root using 'sudo'.  If you remove this ability, the buttons will be
disabled.
