The default desktop in RedHat is Gnome. The file that changes it to KDE is
/etc/sysconf/desktop. Make Desktop="kde"

For KDE, edit /usr/share./config/kdmrc. There you can disable the shutdown button,
enable it for root only, or set it for consoleonly. Do a search for kdmrc in the KDE
on-line help browser.
You may also want to remove/disable the kdeswitchdesk feature to keep the users from
changing desktops.
Sorry, I don't know much about Gnome. But the ability to reboot as a user is scary; I
tried it and was amazed that it works! There has to be away to shut it off.
I'd be interested to know myself...
