Hey,
Okay, it seems I need to answer my own question:
I'm still a newbie at Linux, and so I had no idea *why* I couldn't
get those halt/reboot/logout options to appear. Well, after playing
around, just looking and looking all over in the menus, I ran across
the Login Manager. Its kinda hidden in Dolphin's menus. In any
case, in the Login Manager, I went to the Sessions tab. The very
first setting is called Allow Shutdown and you have a subsetting
for the Console and Remote. The setting for Console said Nobody;
I simply changed it to Everybody. I logged out and logged back
in, and then tried to log out again. To my delight, I now had the
options to halt/reboot/logout. Success!
I remember this setting in 8.2 in KDE, too, however as I currently
don't want to install X I'd be glad if someone could tell me what to
do from command line.
I'll try Derek's suggestions (thanks) and make a search on my own.
Have you ever had high security?, or did you upgrade instead of install?
No, I never had high security and I performed a clean install with
reformat.

Roman:
Do a man shutdown from your terminal window. I believe a shutdown now
command will take the system cleanly down all the way
