>From the Xfce Manual (xfce4-session.html#xfsm-shutdown):

"To be able to shutdown the computer, you must be listed in the systems
sudoers file, in particular, you must be allowed to execute
$libexecdir/xfsm-shutdown-helper as user root (where $libexecdir is the
libexec subdir in the prefix you installed xfce4-session, for example
/usr/local/libexec)."
