Or with system provided commands: add yourself to the required groups (wheel, operator), then add a menu entry for "System Shutdown" (shutdown -p now) and "System Reboot" (shutdown -r now); now you can select them from the menu, add a key combination, or even make a desktop shortcut which you can give an inviting name, like "My files". :-) You can also add it as an icon to one of the bars, like for example in Gnome. You need DBus, PolicyKit and ConsoleKit installed, if I remember correctly, and _maybe_ even HAL (but check that again with the current documentation). Those services must be running. Check if "startxfce4" requires some of the "--with-ck-something" options. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
