I have been using kshutdown to reboot and shutdown since that seems to work. I cannot logout with it though. One thing I noticed in the settings dialog for Kshutdown it has a check system configuration button. When I press the button a message comes up that says KDE Display Manager is not running or the shut down/reboot function is disabled and underneath that it says to klick here to configure KDM which I do. This brings up a root login box that says it is running the command kcmshell kdm. So I enter the root password and then nothing happens. It is strange that it would say that kdm is not running I would think it should be. Any more suggestions? Peter
