polkit seems to me just another HAL... Try: http://wiki.xfce.org/tips Of course you still need to put: xfce4-user-session-shutdown.sh in the /etc/sudoers file and allow yourself (and whatever other users that you want) to shutdown. Myself, I'm still running xfce4-4.6.2... and have this in my /etc/sudoers file: usernamehere hostname=NOPASSWD: /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper usernamehere hostname=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown If all else fails you can still do a manual "sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now"... Whatever happened to simplicity and the KIS rule? HTH Best regards Peter K
