There we go, thank you! For the benefit of the archives, this is what
I got in the end and which works (\t is tab):

%wheel\tALL=(root)\tNOPASSWD: /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper

I can now shut down and reboot from within the GUI, and it doesn't
seem to have opened any obvious other security holes.

well, except ANY user in your wheel group can shut down your  
box.not saying that's a bad thing, but you need to know who all  
is in it...

Yes, I am perfectly aware of that and it is also what I want. Of
course my account is the only one besides root that is in the wheel
group, but that's my own headache. :)
