Please check the output of the following commands on your system:
My output:
| Code: | Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2011-12-05T12:10:57.843910Z'
login-session-id = '1'
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat2'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2011-12-05T12:10:57.759156Z'
login-session-id = '1' |
Also --
Excerpt of my output:
| Code: | Daemon:
daemon-version: 0.9.12
can-suspend: yes
can-hibernate yes
on-battery: no
on-low-battery: no
lid-is-closed: no
lid-is-present: yes
is-docked: no |
The first shows that I, the user, control the present console tty7, which should allow me to control UPower. The second shows that UPower is capable of suspend and hibernate operations (shutdown and reboot capability are assumed, I believe)

I have a such problem too. I use the links on desktop instead the missing options. They execute "sudo pm-suspend", "sudo shutdown -h now" etc.
Also do want say that I don't like Consolekit and don't use it. |

ultraincognito,
That's an okay (if ugly) solution for a single-user system, but not for a multi-user or locked down system.
What makes this work is sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5-r1, which provides the file
| Code: | | /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90-consolekit |
which wraps your X login session in a consolekit session.

AFAIK:
To use the xfce4 buttons for shutdown/reboot/hibernate/suspend, you need the "polkit consolekit upower" USE flags (including for PAM).
If you want Thunar to automount USB sticks, etc. you need the "polkit consolekit dbus udev" USE flags, and the users need to be in the "plugdev" group.

The great thing about Gentoo is that each user can decide what is the "true" way.

Which program (flags) generate "plugdev" group?
I don't have one!
update:
Apparently "hal" generate plugdev group.
I used to have hal installed on my other system but it was removed (though I have plugdev group and and those button are there active).
What program replaced "hal"? |

hal has been replaced by udisks and upower
upower is pulled in by xfce4-session with the "udev" USE flag set (I forgot to list this one above), and udisks is pulled in by thunar via gvfs with the "dbus" USE flag set.
xfce4-power-manager pulls in both upower and udisks if you install it.

Something is not correct. I have all three installed:
xfce4-session, thunar, gvfs
my USE flags, has udev and dbus:
| Code: | | USE="-gnome qt4 -hal -arts -berkdb X gtk -qt3 -kde -minimal dvd alsa cdr cups apache2 ssl foomaticdb ppds mysql -acl java tiff jpeg png lock session startup-notification thunar usb udev scanner gimp gimpprint cgi fam nptl trutype kpathsea type1 spell consolekit dbus pam policykit semantic-desktop" |
and yes, upower and udisks are both installed but no "plugdev" group is set
| Code: | [ebuild R ] xfce-base/thunar-1.2.3 USE="dbus exif libnotify pcre startup-notification udev -debug -test" XFCE_PLUGINS="trash" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.8.1 USE="consolekit policykit udev -debug -gnome -gnome-keyring" XFCE_PLUGINS="logout" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gvfs-1.6.7-r1 USE="bluetooth cdda gdu gnome http udev -archive -avahi -bash-completion -doc -fuse -gnome-keyring -gphoto2 -ios (-prefix) -samba" 0 kB |

What is your output for ck-list-sessions ? The session on console tty7 should have the line "active = TRUE". This should at least give your the privilege to shutdown or reboot the computer.

My active is FALSE.

Interesting, consolekit recognizes your tty7 session as neither active nor local. Moreover your session IDs are rather high in value.
Are you launching X via a remote session? If so you won't be granted shutdown/reboot privileges. Moreover, ck-launch-session is incompatible with su/sudo (more here).

I was logged IN via ssh.
Here is the output from the machine itself: | Code: | $ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat2'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = FALSE
on-since = '2011-12-13T17:03:32.101537Z'
login-session-id = '11'
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat3'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''

remote-host-name = '10.0.0.109'
is-local = FALSE
on-since = '2011-12-13T17:04:19.372828Z'
login-session-id = '12'
$ upower -d
Daemon:

can-suspend: no
can-hibernate no
on-battery: no
on-low-battery: no
lid-is-closed: no
lid-is-present: no
is-docked: no |
Even if I close all the terminal session except 1 my session ID is still 11 |

Joseph_sys, do you fear use Thunar without Gvfs and Udisks but with theUdev rules for automounting devices? If fear then why?
I do want help you. |

I'm not sure what are you trying to say, but thanks for trying.
Yes, I do have gvfs installed:
gnome-base/gvfs-1.6.7-r1 |

How xfce4 is starting on my computer when I log IN?
I've commented out from:
/etc/env.d/90xsession #XSESSION="Xfce4"
~$.xinitrc #exec startxfce4
and xfce4 still starts when I login? Maybe this has something to do with button disparaging?
Though, this is not only Getnoo related some other users on other distros reporting the same behaviour. |

In your case it seems to be started from somewhere else, that's why you get active = FALSE and buttons do not work. |
I'm using 'slim' and I've noticed that that slim is starting xfce4
by pressing "F1" it toggle between "Xsession" and "Xfce4"
Yes, it could be the reason. But where is setting in Slim to set " ck-launch-session startxfce4" |

I've sued xdm instead of slim, it make no difference.
/etc/env.d/90xsession
XSESSION="Xfce4"
/etc/X11/Sessions/Xfce4
ck-launch-session startxfce4
$ .xinitrc
is not used. |
