XFCE4: shutdown/reboot privlages? [solved]

When I'm in my normal user, I can't shut down or reboot my computer via XFCE, even though /sbin/reboot and /sbin/poweroff are in my sudo list for the user ... how can I fix this?

Thanks all!  You've been a real help!

From Xfce's FAQ page:

How do I enable the shutdown/reboot action in the session-manager logout dialog?

You have to allow the user(s) to execute $installdir/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper with sudo. Please install sudo, and refer to xfce4-session and sudo documentation.
