[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#382895: xfce4-session: requires user password to shutdown or restart

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.3.90.1-1
Severity: normal

why does the user need to enter his/her password to shutdown or restart
the system (even though he/she is already an xfsm-shutdown-helper sudoer)?  
he/she already entered that same password to login, why does it need to
be redundantly reentered?
