misc/gnome-icon-theme and misc/gnome-icon-theme-extras provide a full 
set of icons.  They are different from xfce's but better-looking IMO.

xfce can reboot or shut down a system.  The file
/usr/local/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.consolekit.pkla 
must be created as shown in the pkg-message of one of the xfce ports, 
and xfce must be started with with ConsoleKit support:

startxfce4 --with-ck-launch

There are several ports that handle automount.  I used my own script for 
that, but recently went back to manual mounting for simplicity.
