Other solution is to change logout to shutdown:

change in /usr/share/applications/xfce4-session-logout.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/xfce4-session-shutdown.sh
Icon=system-log-out
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Categories=System;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
Name=Log Out

and using this shutdown script /usr/bin/xfce4-session-shutdown.sh:

#! /bin/sh
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now $*

No ideas how you got that information, but no such property exists. You can only disable the shutdown and reboot buttons with kiosk mode, not the log out button.

Does the property exist?

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /shutdown/ShowLogout

If not, then:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /shutdown/ShowLogout --create --set false --type bool

I try to create a very simple thin client with XFCE 4.8.
Howto disable "Logout" button in the logout applet under XFCE?
I mean "Logout" option is not possible, when the user press on Logout menu button, then he gets just "Shutdown", "Restart" etc.

I've already tried:

  
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowLogout' -t 'bool' -s 'false'

but it doesn't work.
