They are different from xfce's but better-looking IMO. xfce can reboot or shut down a system. The file /usr/local/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.consolekit.pkla must be created as shown in the pkg-message of one of the xfce ports, and xfce must be started with with ConsoleKit support: startxfce4 --with-ck-launch There are several ports that handle automount. I used my own script for that, but recently went back to manual mounting for simplicity.
