IceWM is a window manager for the X Window System. The goal of IceWM
is speed, simplicity, and not getting in the user's way.
+
+Because icewm users are perhaps less likely to use components of
+other desktop environments, the following could be considered a
+recommendation for addition to /etc/sudoers (use visudo(8) to edit
+it), which will allow all members of the "power" group to use icewm's
+built-in methods for shutdown, reboot, and sleep.
+
+Cmnd_Alias POWERMGMT = /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot, \
+ /sbin/poweroff, /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
+%power ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: POWERMGMT
+
+Some users might wish to have a polkit authentication agent or
+other things invoked at X startup - see /usr/share/icewm/startup for
+suggestions.
