You could probably do "echo /sbin/reboot | sudo gainroot"

Mine did the same thing.

Might be able to cobble something together with low permissions with setuid possibly. But would not want to do that though.

[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.misc.reboot
Exec=/usr/bin/sudo reboot

<menuitem priority="750" name="Reboot">
<icon>general_refresh</icon>
<callback service="com.misc.reboot" path="/com/misc/reboot" interface="com.misc.reboot" method="reboot" bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="boolean">true</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>

sudo could probably be abused for this:

After that, change your reboot entry to run "sudo reboot".

Yep, I had it work once but then it started to do what you said. See my second method that abuses D-Bus - that worked more than once.
