Hello.
When shutting down my ~amd64 gentoo system running XFCE, the system
does not shut down and I receive the following error message, and then
the XFCE session is closed.
Unable to perform shutdown
error: org.freedesktop.Hal.Error: Could not determine whether caller
is privileged
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Error
Any clues?

Yes. Something similar is happening on amd64 Debian systems (see
[1][2]). The only workaround that I'm aware of sofar is to make sure
no root programs are running when hitting the shutdown/restart button.

I had a similar problem. I think I fixed it by adding "hal" the the USE
variable in the /etc/make.conf file. Then doing an "emerge -uDN world".
