Is xfce4-session running? I've had the same problem in 4.3.90.1
(brazillian portuguese translation), I've solved the SUDO problem
adding these to the /etc/sudoers :

USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:
/sbin/shutdown,/sbin/reboot,/sbin/halt,/usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper

Where "user" is your user name.
Also, change the location of the xfsm-shutdown-helper.

restart xfce and try adding a Quit Action Button on the panel (not the
menu!) and click it. My problem was solved like that, unfortunately i
did not solve the menu's problem.
