Assuming you run KDM, the button invokes KDM's API for shutting down. So 
that reduces the question to what KDM does. If you don't run KDM, we have a 
Fedora patch to fall back to ConsoleKit Stop() (the kdebase-workspace-*-ck-
shutdown.patch).

What KDM does is that it runs (as root, like all of KDM) the command given 
by its HaltCmd option, which defaults to its HALT_CMD macro, which is 
defined on GNU/Linux as "/sbin/halt". However, I see that we override this 
in our default kdmrc in kde-settings-kdm as "HaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff".
