You can also give your user the ability to shutdown via
"sudo", and then modifying your preferences file to specify
"sudo shutdown -h now", and "sudo shutdown -r now" as the
commands to run for those choices.

from "/home/username/.icewm/preferences"...

ShutdownCommand="sudo shutdown -h now"
RebootCommand="sudo shutdown -r now"
LockCommand="xtrlock"

yours,
