I am using XBMC 10.0-4 on Arch Linux
Kernel: 2.6.37
I use SLiM as my display manager.
I had been running xbmc through .xinitrc as
exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone
Which was working but was causing problems for launcher because I didn't have a wm running. Following advice on other forums I wrote a wrapper script:
/usr/bin/openbox
$1
/usr/bin/openbox --exit
but this would cause problems when multiple programs were launched at a time.
So I have been trying to get xbmc to run nicely from within a window manager. At first shutdown wasn't showing up in the list of possiblities for shutdown, so I fought with and eventually removed hal/console-kit to rely on upower instead. Now shutdown is showing up in the list but it doesn't work.
I have tried running xbmc from within gnome or openbox, and when I click shutdown it just exits.
