The problem went away for me, it works perfectly now... But I don't remember what I did, if anything at all. I'm allso using kde-unstable, 4.7b1. What method do you use to start X? I use KDM throuh inittab. Shutdown command in systemsettings is '/sbin/shutdown -h -P now'.

yes, kdm through inittab

# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:

# Example lines for starting a login manager
....
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon

when close session/reboot/Shutdown my screen turn like this:

when open other program, this program runs and the window color is normally (without "blur" and gray color )

only "works" using alt+cntrl+backspace

any idea?

PD: sorry my bad english

Ok, your problem seems identical to the one I had, with the screen darkening and all. Your setup is also identical to mine, so I'm running out of ideas. Maybe some kind of permission problem somewhere?
There is one thing I did, mainly for aestetics (I use plymouth), I don't think it'll help you but it doesn't hurt to try. In /etc/inittab, I've commented out TTY1, like this:

#c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty4 linux
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty6 linux

By doing this I won't see a login prompt flash between plymouth and KDM I have no idea if this could be related or helpful in any way, but it's my last idea. Good luck!

Re: Cannot Shutdown/Restart from KDE

I'm wondering if this is a consolekit thing.  I don't have shutdown buttons either, but I don't particularly care about that.  What I DO care about is the annoying situation of being unable to mount/unmount USB disks unless I manually edit the policy after every udisks update to "allow_any", despite the "exec ck-launch-session startkde" in my .xinitrc rather than just "exec startkde" (which Googling seems to suggest ought to fix this...I'm just starting from a console login with "startx").

I noticed just now that if I do "ck-list-sessions" while I'm in kde, it shows my "session" BUT it thinks I'm not in an "active" session ("ACTIVE = false").  For some odd reason, it also doesn't think I'm "local" (which may be the root cause - if I understand correctly, you have to be a "local" session to be an "active" session...I think.) "login-session-id" is also blank, so I'm kind of baffled here as to what ck-launch-session is actually supposed to be accomplishing...

Is the lack of power-off buttons possibly related as well - are only "active" sessions allowed to do a shutdown (and more importantly for my more-pressing annoyance, how do I make my KDE sessions show up as "active" so that I can mount and unmount USB disks by default (i.e. "<allow_active>yes")?

EDIT: FOLLOWUP - I now have "Shut Down", "Restart", etc. options, and my sessions claim to be "Active"... according to the thread at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655492 , the kernel needs to be compiled with "CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y".  I am running a custom-compiled kernel, so I recompiled with this option enabled, and that seems to have fixed it for me. 

Try "zcat /proc/config.gz | grep AUDITSYSCALL" if you're having this problem and see if that option is set for your kernel.

I'm using Slim as login manager and had this problem - no shutdown,reboot buttons in kde. Also had similar output from ck-list-sessions.

Fixed it by changing one line in "/etc/slim.conf":

BEFORE:

login_cmd           exec /bin/bash - ~/.xinitrc %session

AFTER:

login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login - ~/.xinitrc %session

And it works now.

I think "ck-launch-session" expects to be started in bash login session to work properly.
