I've had the same problem with kde4 and Xfce. When I instruct either, via the gui interface, to shut down, it logs out to a command prompt. From there it is necessary to issue the "su -c halt" command and the root password to shutdown the system.
Also, after the last two "fresh" installations the user can no longer "control" access to the network/Internet via NetworkManager and it becomes necessary to edit /etc/dbus-1/systemd/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf to re-gain control.

Well, an elogind driven system permits the users members of group "power" to just use:
Code:
loginctl shutdown
Which I consider a great advantage.
Probably there are many who will want to empower his/her/its users to properly shutdown, reboot, suspend or even hibernate from console, without disclosing the root password to them. For example, think about the computers from a school.
Just reverted to mozjs60-60.9.0esr, reloaded Plasma 5 and now the power / session menu is populated again
In fact, was already published (but later) by Mr. Hameleers an updated package: polkit-0.117-x86_64-1alien.txz which works fine with the -current's mozjs68-68.11.0esr-x86_64-1.txz .
So, this issue was already fixed.
I for one, I always check for updates the next days after a new Plasma5 build deployment because some fine tuning always happens.

Installing Mr. Workman's recent dbus and polkit packages solved that problem with kde4. Didn't need to revert to mozjs60-60.9. http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/current/x86_64/

Thank you everybody for helping.
After installing dbus and polkit from Mr. Workman's repository, as advised by cwizardone, my problem is fixed.
