Re: [newbie] KDE logout
Sir Robin, I have the same question. I think that the answer is in autologin. If you autologin, you only get the logout/cancel window. But, if you do a normal login you will get the full logout window. The times that I have seen the full logout window with autologin is if I have switched users. I'll be interrested to see if anyone has any solution to this.

On my office machine the former always come up, but at home I usually get the latter, but it occasionally switches to the former for no obvious reason. I've tried using MCC to allow users to restart, but with no effect.

I'm sure most of those who use autologin do so because they are the sole users on their machines, so if they log out, it's because they want to shut down or reboot into that other operating system.

Oh, I don't disagree with it being silly. If this is the case, I would love to see it changed in the next version.
