They *are* available to every user via KDM's 'shutdown' menu (and via
CTRL-Alt-Del anyway). This is a bug: if you choose one of the system
options from logoff the machine goes to runlevel 3. If rl 5 is the
default runlevel, it goes to rl 5 and displays the KDM screen again
(from which you can shutdown or reboot the machine), if 3 is the default
rl, it drops you to the console but doesn't shutdown or reboot the
machine either.
So options are: remove these non-working options, or make them work :-)
