This can be achieved by adding a new custom keyboard shortcut.
Disable the current Ctrl+Alt+Delete shortcut
Select the keyboard app from the dash
On the shortcut tab change the current shortcut of logout to something else, say Alt+Delete.
Then click on custom shortcut and add a new shortcut.
Enter Shutdown in the Name field and /usr/lib/indicator-session/gtk-logout-helper --shutdown in the Command field.
Click apply and assign the shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Delete)

@marc: Just click on the shortcut(initially it will display as 'Disabled' just click on it). Then the text will change to 'New Shortcut ..' at that point type your new key combination as the shortcut. eg( CTRL + ALT + DELETE) – aneeshep Nov 13 '11 at 12:48

@marc: click on word 'Disabled' . The text will change to 'New Shrotcut' when you click on it. Then type the new shortcut on your keyboard(ie: CTRL + ALT +DELETE) and press apply. – aneeshep Nov 16 '11 at 11:38

The "Command" field listed in @aneeshep's answer won't work for many installations. Test run the command in a terminal before assigning it to a keyboard shortcut to make sure it works as you expect. If it doesn't, try one of these alternatives:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.gnome.Shell" /org/gnome/SessionManager/EndSessionDialog org.gnome.SessionManager.EndSessionDialog.Open uint32:2 uint32:0 uint32:60 array:objpath:/org/gnome/SessionManager/EndSessionDialog
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
gnome-session-quit --power-off
