I know. However, that's not what I'm asking.

My point is that the logout prompt is set by default to Shutdown. When
I reported this to BZ (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489519)
I was told that this was an intentional change, with the implication
that it's hardwired and not user-configurable.

The last time I shut down my system was about a year ago when going on
vacation. It's safe to say that I would *never* want this to be the
default. If I hit a key combination for "Show Logout Prompt" I would
expect the natural default action at the prompt to be Logout, which it
used to be in previous versions of Plasma as far back as I can
remember. As it stands, I now have to re-wire my muscle memory so as
not to hit Return without manually selecting a different option.

This is terrible user interface design and a violation of the ancient
Principle Of Least Surprise.

I asked on BZ for a pointer to where this change was discussed to see
if I could understand the justification for it. That was nearly two
weeks ago. I still haven't had a reply.
