This is fixed in upstream git master, but the changes are quite
intrusive. Incidentally I came across this a while ago in an OEM
project, and I created a very small and straightforward patch which
ports from hal to ConsoleKit/Upower. It has worked well for several
weeks, so I think this would make a fine SRU.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xfce4-session

The current XFCE4-Session in Lucid (4.6.1) is using HAL to perform reboots and halts when selected from the menus.  HAL is going away from being a supported app for shutdown or reboot in Ubuntu during the Lucid development cycle.

XFCE4-session should migrate to using the ConsoleKit interface to perform these shutdown and reboots.
