That code should work for us. xfce4-session will prompt for the
password when you try to reboot/shutdown so the:
echo "$USER ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> $ROOT/etc/sudoers
bit will suffice.
thunar uses hal voodoo for mounting random filesystems etc (via
exo-mount) so that bit is taken care of.
Xfce isn't quite as together as Gnome and KDE so there's no gksu
equivalent for it.
If we think of anything else we'll follow up here.
