Is there a DE independent program like lxde-logout? [solved]

Question

The title says pretty much everything. I am setting up e16.
Using e16, thunar, parcellite, gvolwheel and wbar I have a wonderful desktop. The only complain is I cannot reboot or turn off with a specific program like lxde-logout.
I know I can just use sudo to allow users of the group power to use halt and reboot... but it seems so ancient...
So, is there a program like lxde-logout that detects if the user can turn off or reboot the machine and allows to make it with ease?
Thanks
Solved! Yes there is at least oblogout and exitx-polkit-git.

Try with this, it depends only on pygtk
