I've posted this on the Mate forums about two weeks ago with no reply. It's still at the top of the page even.
Anyway, here's my issue:
I have no ability to shutdown or restart my computer within Mate other than the command line. The shutdown and restart buttons are literally missing from the "Shutdown" option under "System".
I've also noticed that I can't use mate-system-log anymore either. It seems to be directly tied with the power issue because when the shutdown/restart buttons were visible, I would be able to get into my system log viewer. I receive this error:
A few days ago, this would seemingly happen at random. My usual way of getting around this was to log out and log back in. After doing that, I'd get my shutdown/restart buttons and I would be able to start my system log viewer. For whatever reason, today, it will not work no matter how many times I login/out, restart my DM or even restart my computer.
I've got some screenshots of what the power buttons are suppose to look like and what they look like when they're missing:

My current system setup is as follows:
Mate Desktop 1.8.1
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6
Nvidia drivers 346.35 for a GT 520.
I've installed only binary packages by the way.
