xfce4-session problems

Hey,

I am using the xfce-session from cvs and I am having problems getting
the shut-down to work.  I think I don't know how to configure it
properly.  The README says:
make $sbindir/xfce4-shutdown setuid to root and add the users
           that you want to allow to reboot/halt to the file
           $sysconfdir/xfce4/shutdown.allow

How do I make $sbindir/xfce4-shutdown setuid to root?
Is it chmod u+s xfce4-shutdown??
And do I just add my user name to shutdown.allow like this:


# shutdown.allow
#
# Users listed in this file are allowed to halt/reboot the computer from
# the session managers logout dialog.

Any help would be appreciated.  If it is a problem with the program then
I will have to live with that since it is a cvs version, but I think I
am doing something wrong. (I have the latest version as of today, in
case anyone was wondering)

I am also having a problem installing the xmms-plugin.  I get the
following errors when I do 

make:
xmms_plugin.c:37:22: xmmsctrl.h: No such file or directory
xmms_plugin.c: In function `xmms_plugin_control_new':

and these error on:
