Shutdown as normal user



Hi

I'm using Debian/GNU Linux 2.2 and the Helix-Gnome desktop. The problem
is, that the 'gshutdown' program wants to be run as root. So I always
have to log in as root and shut down the computer. How can I change
'gshutdown' so that a normal user can run it, too? I tried to set it
suid root, but this caused the problem, that root is not allowed to
display his windows on a user's screen (any idea how to change this,
too?).

Thanks in advance,

joerg
