Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.4.2-6
Severity: normal
I'm using XFCE4 together with xdm. When I choose "Shutdown" inside XFCE,
it sometimes asks me for my password, and sometimes not. I haven't
noticed any pattern in this behaviour.
In my /etc/sudoers, it is specified that I can run
/usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper with root priveliges. The only
possibility I can imagine is that the unpredictability comes from some
sort of sudo password timeout. But I'm sure that I have not used any
sudo commands the times when it doesn't ask for a password.
Best regards,
Torquil S?rensen
