I like the feature (and it currently works for me). I
know that you can control user access to reboot from
kdm, as long as this is not a backdoor around that I
think it is a good thing. The kdm control over reboot
is in root's mcc > logon manager

I'd rather see them removed. I've seen too many Windows users pick the
wrong option from their shutdown menus to trust them with the same

Start KDE with startx as normal user. Press 'Exit" (menu or applet).
Neither Halt nor Reboot work - I exit KDE (and X session) but no Halt or
