Hello.
I try to fix twinview with my nvidia xorg.conf .And run over this kind of issue.
From the beginning with xfce i only have a logout button no shutdown and reboot.(i can live with that)
I start with startxfce4.
In my xinitrc from wiki exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 and i have dbus in /etc/rc.conf
But when i start with startx instead all the buttons are there. I can live with that to .
An explaination why startx working and startxfce4 not ?? Can it be a bug somewhere?

I installed Arch with XFCE and started fazing out parts of the later for Compiz and Gnomenu. Before, I had XFCE logoff menu with all the buttons like shutdown, restart, hibernate, sleep. Now, it is gone and I don't know what commands run them so when I want to restart, I have to type 'reboot' in the terminal.
What are those commands, or how to get this XFCE menu back?

Did you try exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4 ? From the dephts of the forum i got my xinitrc working like that, but don't ask me to where it I found it
In the wiki, the instructions for xfce4.8 are to put an even longer line

Adding your user to the power group should also help

lockheed you could always shutdown like this from wiki, thats what i do.

I have all suggestions from from this thread. And i not use any display manager.
That was more of a surprice that i got shutdown, restart, hibernate, sleep with startx instead of startxfce4. I dont know if more xfce users can do this.
And for me i dont need to have shutdown, restart, hibernate, sleep in the panel.More curious why startx works and startxfce4 not like i say in my first post.

@freddie
You can check what startx does and compare to what startxfce4 does. Check 'less /usr/bin/startx'.

No, it doesn't. I already have all these in place.

Are these the same commands that are invoked by regular xfce menu I lost?

I dont know if the commands are the same in xfce but i use the sudo way from wiki.

The shutdown and restart buttons will get re-enabled if you add your users to the "power" group like this (suppose that "donald" is your user):
# gpasswd -a donald power
and you gotta do the same for root as well:
# gpasswd -a root power

woohoo, welcome to the forums :-)
I do appreciate you trying to help, but there's no need to bump an old thread adding info that's already in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … ithin_Xfce
