This is what happens at previous versions, my work RH7.0/KDE2.0 does this, as does an rh7.3 syestem I'm working on. As far as I can see you can't do it with RH8. If you ran pure KDE rpms/source, rather than the redhat ones then I imagine it is possible. My understanding is that nothing was taken out of KDE itself, but that redhat may have modified the code for their distribution. Hence, redhat KDE may not work quite the same as pure KDE built from source or using their own rpms. Personally I too would like the shutdown menu again. With RH8 I now have the choice of a PC either being shutdown by anyone, I do this at home, or being shutdown by no-one unless they login as root and shut the system down. I preferred the RH7.3 menu where you could only shutdown the system or reboot it if you gave the root password (or you configured it so that anyone/no-one could shut it down).
