Took me a bit to figure out why "restart" worked by "shutdown" didn't,
until I realized that I'm not "brian"...

OK, this works. Whew. Thank you _very_ much indeed.
What is the overall view of this issue? Is this a bug? Is your solution
the right one? Should it be fed back to the XFCE team? From my

to figure out a solution like this....
Really, thanks.
