I had the same problem here but only on a machine with a NVIDIA 210 graphic card.
I don't know if it is related.
Killing acpid solves the problem.

NVIDIA Driver Version: 304.64
Server Vendor Version: 1.12.4 (11204000)
NV-CONTROL Version: 1.28
Debian i386 unstable up to date (2013/02/18)

That's why Arch is the best.

There's a handy reference to acpid at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acpid I've never tried configuring it myself, but I haven't had the interference you seem to have had.

Sorted it. Turns out the acpi handler was interfering; not entirely sure how. Stopped the acpid daemon.

Thanks.

1) Yes. When that is run, with no parameters, I am just logged out; it looks a lot like X being killed - there is no GUI dialogue.
2) I mean the applet that displays the logout-dialogue; logout/restart/shutdown/suspend/hibernate
3) I am logged out/ X is killed - as per 1)

It appears that xfce4-session-logout is being called; it's just not functioning as expected. Manually running xfce4-session-logout has the same effect.

I have tried the exact same thing with another system, using the same version of xfce, and the dialogue does appear as expected.

A few quick questions:

1) By 'GTK logout dialogue' do you mean what appears with the command xfce4-session-logout?
2) By 'panel plugin, or power button', do you mean the Action Button applet with the Quit option?
3) What exactly happens when you press the power button?

I had, yesterday, the GTK logout dialogue working when I pressed the power button on my netbook - so I know it's current behaviour is the result of a misconfiguration somewhere along the line.

When using the panel plugin, or power button, I am logged out; thrown to my login manager. I have installed acpid which catches the event (PBTN) but handles it with nothing of significance; ie logger. I have set the power-management option to "ask" when the power button is pressed. Other than that; I don't really know where else to look.

Thanks.
