In Sawfish 1.6.0 there are the following major changes:
+reboot/shutdown from root-menu
+******************************
+
+The sawfish root-menu has a session sub-menu which allows you
+to reboot and/or shutdown your machine. If you use GNOME or KDE,
+no additional work by you is required. But if you use sawfish
+standalone, you have to make sure that you're allowed to execute
+`shutdown', there are several ways to achieve that, the suggested
+approach is to use sudo combined with a group called shutdown:
+
+;; add a new group called `shutdown'
+groupadd shutdown
+
+;; add user to the `shutdown' group
+adduser misterx shutdown
+
+;; add the group `shutdown' to sudoers
+visudo
+
+ ;; add the following:
+ %shutdown ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
+
+That's it, now everyone in the shutdown group can do it!
+
sawfish-ui is now sawfish-config
