Hi,
our "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus" is missing a proper path to
"dbus-uuidgen", which renders it unable to generate a machine id upon
startup, which in turn breaks (at least) ConsoleKit authorizations
further inside user's session.
This might have been responsible for a few bug reports in the past,
namely those "shutdown buttons are missing from my gnome", as being
unable to communicate with ConsoleKit turns into one of those symptoms.
Anyway, the fix is trivial, reproduction steps and patch included:
# rm -fv /var/db/dbus/machine-id
/var/db/dbus/machine-id
# shutdown -r now
Resulting dmesg:
[...snip...]
Starting syslogd.
Clearing /tmp.
Starting openntpd.
dbus-uuidgen: not found
Starting dbus.
Starting hald.
Let's patch our rc:

+++ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus.new 2011-06-02 22:58:30.000000000 +0200
