I have enabled just about everything (polkitd|hald|dbus|whatnot) in rc.conf, I've granted my user account the rights to do everything in the polkit config file, and still cannot shut down or restart the box using XFCE's logout dialog. sudo /sbin/poweroff runs flawlessly though, so it is not really an issue. It is just a wart on an otherwise smooth setup. I have not tried to build XFCE from the ports tree though. Will try as soon as I get round to it. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38
