Hi Lisi! Slavec's idea is defintly better than my sudo thingy. I have attached a working shutdown-entry to this mail, just save it on your desktop and click it :-) Or change this line in your desktop-entry: Exec=sudo /sbin/poweroff to this line: Exec[$e]=dcop ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 2 2 (I don't know why my Exec has a [$e] and yours not, but ...)
