Seems like xubuntu somehow managed to break user sessions: I'm member of sudo group and default .pkla in /var/lib/polkit-1 should allow me to shutdown without asking for password if there is an active session. Apparently polkit fails to see the session - I recall there's been some news regarding xfce and consolekit, not sure if it's related.
