The restart/shutdown rights aren't managed by Xfce but via sudo. It uses
xfsm-shutdown-helper which needs root rights to shutdown or reboot the
machine. You only need to add your user rights to execute this command
as root using sudo.
Maybe it's debian-installer role to add the first user in sudoers. Or we
could manage it via some install scripts via debconf, but I'm not really
sure I want xfce4-session to depend on sudo.
