OK, let me try to help. First of all the command for that first attempt
was 'type' but that didn't find it for me. The "whereis
xfsm-shutdown-helper" did work for me, so if it didn't work for you
maybe you really don't have it. 
That said. I did have success with another command I haven't seen
suggested yet. I'll try to make it as simple as possible.
do the su and then root password thing. As before this will make you
root. Then type or even copy and paste the contents of my quotation
marks if that's easier for you, "slocate xfsm-shutdown-helper".
This may bring up a fair number of items, mainly the
xfsm-shutdown-helper directory in the source tree, if you have the
source on your computer. Otherwise it should just list the location of
xfsm-shutdown-helper itself. Mine is located in /usr/libexec/  I don't
know if that's standard or just a Gentoo thing.
Best of luck.

Heehee, Here's a script for doing just what I suggested. Save this
script and run it.
'sh find_xfsm-shutdown-helper.sh'
It will ask for the root password.
