I followed the instructions here for installing xfce. One the annoyances I ran into was that shutdown/reboot would always be grey'ed out. I dug through all sorts of google searches to find the answer. I finally got it fixed but a couple of things jumped out at me. The "Power Group" section of the xfce page says to edit a policy file. Problem is that policy file won't exist until the upower package is installed. Didn't see a reference on the page to install that package. To solve the disabled reboot/shutdown buttons, I removed the text "--with-ck-launch" from ~/.xinitrc. I lost the url to the forum discussion where I found that nugget. The rationale was that startxfce4 already starts a dbus and consolekit session. Once I removed "ck-launch" text, logged out then logged in, buttons were enabled! Does the install/wiki page need a little attention? Did I misread something?
