My PC doesn't shutdown from GUI

Since at least a month, my 11.10-64bit PC doesn't shutdown anymore from the GUI. It simply freezes on plymouth screen. If I open gnome-terminal and type "sudo poweroff", it shuts down correctly.

This is very annoying. I don't have any relevant message in the logs. It simply stops at "The system will be halted"...but it doesn't power off.
