[Solved] Shutdown from KDE 4

hi guys :>
just gave kde4 another try and it's running quite well; however i can't shut down from the kmenu :<
is there anywhere an hidden option to enable it, missing package!? i can just logout; neither shutdown nor reboot works without root rights.

kde starts automatically per .xinitrc/startx; a default user is defined in the inittab file

best regards
:>

I think in system settings > advanced > session manager you can activate 'offer shutdown options'.

Re: [Solved] Shutdown from KDE 4

Correct, but arch0r will not see them.

KDE shutdown options only work if you use a graphical login manager (kdm/xdm/gdm etc) .

Personally i use logout and poweroff from console (configured sudo to allow my regular user that command).
