Tats,
Superuser privileges are needed for utils in /sbin
inclusive of halt, poweroff, shutdown etc. You cannot
run these as an user. This 755 does not give an user
rights to run /sbin utils.
Secondly, AFAIK, for poweroff to perate you also
need apm support compiled/ loaded with your kernel.

Make an alias or script for "startx &> .xsession-log &". This
creates a hidden file (.xsession-log) that you ca view later.
After running, you get your terminal back. Run vlock on this
terminal to lock it and prevent someone else from logging you
out or killing your X session while you're away.
