Why sometimes when I try to logout from Xfce, I cannot see shutdown or reboot options?

Why modules use .mo or .lzm extension?
The .mo and .lzm extension area ideas by Slax and as many livecds are build by using linux live, those livecds are able to use modules created for other. You can use Slax modules with GoblinX, so we remain using the same extension. Modules are compressed by SquashFS and you can use another extension if you like.
