requirements for xfsm-shutdown-helper

[Peter Crawford <creature.58@hotmail.com>]

Folk,

A year or two back in Etch, xfsm-shutdown-helper 
with the appropriate entry in /etc/sudoers, allowed 
"Log Out", "Restart" and "Shut Down".  

Now in Lenny, this message is on the console after 
Log Out.
** Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:215: Hal not available or does not permit to 
shutdown/reboot the computer, trying sudo fallback instead.

What should be changed to allow xfsm-shutdown-helper 
to work fully?  Should there be a file /etc/hal.conf 
or /etc/hal/hal.conf?  Are udev rules needed?

Thanks,         ... p. crawford
