That did the trick! Thanks. The manual looks much improved.

As Xfce4-2:s friendly manual[1] explained to me, I have to add
"/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper" to be accessed by sudoers; i.e., adding
/sbin/shutdown doesn't do it for xfce4.
So I have the following in my /etc/sudoers -file:
-----------------------
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /sbin/shutdown, /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper
myuser ALL = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN
-----------------------
Without adding the xfsm-shutdown-helper it didn't work for me either, after I
added it: no problems.
Hope it helps.

Nope. I added
myuser localhost=/sbin/shutdown using visudo. I logged out, logged back
in and still no options. Sudo is installed.
I left the %users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now commented as I don't
want all users to be able to do this. What am I missing?
