I don't know the solution, and I don't know about Jessie and XFCE, so
I did not comment earlier, but because you don't have a definitive
answer yet, here is something I noticed that might help you.
Some time ago I did encounter similar behaviour (Logout, Reboot,
Shutdown features not working) while building my current LXDE systems
on Wheezy. I used only my own minimal choice of packages and did not
install most "recommended" packages.
I was able to get the Logout, Reboot, Shutdown features to work (in
LXDE not XFCE) by following the hint in
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE and installing the upower
package. upower needs dbus too I guess.
