For the OP, here is a small script for putting a reboot button on your desktop, you do have to install osso-statusbar, (go http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php, choose your OS, and search for statusbar, pick the one version tschmidt v.0.6.1chinook1 if you are 2008OS, and use the green install button, the other button does not work), and copy the script to /home/user and make it executable by,

chmod +x /home/user/bunreboot.sh

you can always modify it to add your commands.

bun


bunreboot.sh:
__________________________________________________ ____
#!/bin/sh
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
exec sudo gainroot <<EOF
exec sh $0 $*
EOF
exit $?
fi
exec reboot
