Hm...

I can just confirm the problem. Since I use checkinstall to build Debian
XFce packages from CVS, I've installed an old xfce4-session package
(built in december the 30th), and halt works with this one. Then I've
rebuild the SM from CVS again, and halt does not work anymore.

Weird. Is there a way for me to provide useful informations?

Cheers
François
