Shutdown from Gnome log out menu

This was just posted on planet-gnome and I definitely know I'm not the only one who was trying to find out how to do this.

Is it particulary safe chmoding halt to that degree?

No I doubt it is

Unfortunately every way to use the gnome logout halt/reboot feature that I've seen requires you to have access to the shutdown and reboot binaries. This had a less troublesome setup in terms of ease of use then most of the others. I would love to find a way to do this without completely opening up reboot/halt binaries like that.

Thank you for this tip

Please update us if you'll find a way to do it without chmoding those files

couldn't you just chgrp the binaries? seems like the easiest way to me

also, will chattr work on reiserfs?

I use reiserfs and this method works but once i reboot i have to do everything again, i guess it doesn't work for reiser, any other suggestions on how to get it to work?
