Summary:                    xfce4-session 'reboot'/'turn off' options only do a 'quit session'
Description: 
The 'reboot' and 'turn off' options at the exit confirmation widget only
quit the current session, no reboot or shutdown.
This seems to be introduced in 4.1.12, didn't experience it with any
4.1.10 version.
Maybe it's not actually a xfce4-session issue?

The problem is with the xfce4-session configure script. It fails to detect
the optimal shutdown style for your system (it looks like it detects
redhat style and you don't seem to use redhat). If you run configure with
--with-shutdown-style=sudo, everything should be working again.

But something must have changed, since I'm actually using Fedora Core 2 (so
very RedHat like) and have done so when xfce4-session 4.1.10 was installed
(then it worked). How does the shutdown style detection work?
