All seems to be well apart from
a) Normal Users cannot shutdown
b) Normal Users cannot automount using xfce (can through sudo mount).

I understand very well your frustration because my gnome desktop goes
through periods where those things work, and then for some time they
don't work, etc, ad infinitum.

As much as I like the convenience of automounting as a luser, all of
my bofh instincts cry out that lusers shouldn't even be allowed to log
into my system, much less actually mount(!?!) a filesystem!

This is one of those Windows/convenience versus unix/security things,
I think, but I'm just an amateur bofh.

What do you professional bofhs think?
