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. -- Simon Huggins \ "Just wait.
