Xfce often does me a similar thing when /var/run/current-system !=
/var/run/booted-system. Any attempts to reboot or shutdown end just in
logout. There in KDM, however, reboot or shutdown always worked afterwards.

I suspect it could be a configuration problem somewhere around policykit 
- not conforming to how we switch to another system...
