xfce + xdm = no more /shutdown /reboot /sleep /hibernate possibility

Hi evribody

I run Fedora 15 and I don't like Gnome 3 and so I switched to xfce. Well.

But I discovered that using GDM as display manager involves loading a great number of resources and libraries of Gnome and makes the login slow. And I choosed to set XDM as display manager.

But since that, the "exit" icon shows only the "close session" choice. I don't have any more the "reboot", "shutdown", hibernate" and "sleep" choices.

Have any idea of the reasons ? Because to shutdown the system, the only possibility that I have is to open a terminal and type "reboot" or "poweroff" in it.

Thx

SOLVED!!!!!

Install the "lightdm" desktop manager.
