Clicking the "shutdown" button in kdm runs the shutdown program exactly where 
the kdm is running, which happens to be the server.... Most people setup kdm 
to not allow for remote users to shutdown the server. The 
file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc on a Debian system (others may differ in file 
location) contains a section [X-*-core]; the setting AllowShutdown=Root 
requires a root password to shutdown the server from other machines (while 
the section [X-:*-core], mind the colon, refers to locally displayed 
screens).

For using the shutdown buttons to control terminal power there seems not ot be 
an easy solution yet, this usually requires some kdm source code hacking. If 
you don't mind typing something in a text shell, there is support for remote 
powering off the terminals with the ltspinfod. It's just not hooked into kdm.

Press the terminal power button has been a good way to do so for most 
people ;-)
