1 Oops apologies. Should send this on gentoo-user email address.

3 Since a recent upgrade of polkit (I think) as a normal user I can no
4 longer shutdown using log out, shutdown option not available. As root
5 using shutdown only logs you out but does not shutdown.
6
7 On a second machine as a normal user I can see shutdown but this only
8 logs me out.

10 Are we supposed to write our own rules for this?
11
12 I am in plugdev group and have dbus, consolekit and polkit in use flags.
13
14 I cannot see any difference between config files on 2 machines but 1 is
15 a laptop the other desktop???
16
17 Any suggestions other than converting to e16? (which is becoming
18 tempting). This seems to happen every upgrade of xfce4/polkit/dbus.
