Well, if you like this that way, okay - that is a solution, but you cannot really give this to "normal" users who didn't see a tty up to now. So Logon manager is necessary here. > In kcontrol (which has been renamed system settings, altho it's generally > kde controls not system settings), advanced user settings, session > manager, you can control whether shutdown options are offered and the > default leave option. I suspect you may have that set incorrectly. Wait, you did misunderstand something: The problem is not that I cannot shutdown/reboot/logout - I have these options and they are working except for the logout. Here is what's happening: User clicks on "logout" -> user is logged out -> I am taken back to tty So somehow, the logon screen is not restarted. The question is: How is this done? By restarting the xserver or by other means? Regards, Michael ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
