Missing power off and reboot options from power menu

Hello all,

Software setup:
Slackaware 64-Current (4.4.32 kernel)
Kodi 17.1 (compiled using slackbuilds script)
starting kodi as standalone with “xinit /usr/bin/kodi-standalone — -nocursor :0”

Problem: No power off and reboot options in the shutdown menu if i run kodi as normal user

Tried:
-if run as root, the options are there
-added my user to power group
-added the path to reboot and shutdown (/sbin/) to my $PATH
-added my user to sudoers to allow halt, reboot and poweroff

None worked, this didn’t happend on Kodi 16 on the same setup, i was able to power off or reboot from the menu with my regular user.

Anyone has any idea what should I try next?

Thanks.
