So I have the following in my /etc/sudoers -file:
-----------------------
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /sbin/shutdown, /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper
myuser ALL = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN
-----------------------
Without adding the xfsm-shutdown-helper it didn't work for me either, after I added it: no problems.
Hope it helps.

Nope. I added
myuser localhost=/sbin/shutdown using visudo. I logged out, logged back in and still no options. Sudo is installed.
I left the %users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now commented as I don't want all users to be able to do this. What am I missing?

Hm, this is interesting. I installed 4.2 when it became stable over the weekend and it has the power off or reboot grayed out. I know xfce4 4.2 has configure options to enable this but the ebuild doesn't show any use flags for it and I haven't had a chance to investigate further. Howe do I get it to let me do this. My user is a member of the wheel group and can do su -.
Thanks.

Having just gone through this, I know how to get it done.
You need to install sudo, and your user needs to be configured in the /etc/sudoers file. man sudoers will give you the info for this.
In the /etc/sudoers file, there are options for shutdown that are commented by default. Uncomment them and you will have access to the shutdown/reboot options from withing XFCE4.
