[SOLVED]Shutting down in Arch (Openbox + Fluxbox)

Question

The other OPs thread got solved....but my issue didn't. So here it is again.
I have openbox and fluxbox installed on Arch:
    1) Openbox stops responding on clicking either Reboot or Shutdown from the menu. Only option kill X.
    2) Fluxbox doesnt have a care in the world...it keeps working...menus and all
Debian has Fluxbox installed...and shutdown and reboot work as they should.
My sudoers file has this
inxsible ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
My menu file in openbox has
sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
for the Reboot and
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
for the Shutdown.
I think this is specific to Arch because the same thing works well in my Debian install.
I do have acpid installed...so all is not lost. Its just that it pisses me off that this doesn't work for me when it does for everyone else.

Answer 1

Ok I feel like a f*ing idiot now !!!
I checked my sudoers again and the problem was this. After I enabled my user name to have NOPASSWD to /sbin/shutdown, I had another line in sudoers down below which was
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
That was negating the statement above. But I am still surprised how it worked 3 times before deciding not to.
Anyway, I have now removed the username line and simply uncommented this one
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Now I dont need to worry about entering a password anywhere
