Customize KDE logout menu?

When you click the LOGOUT menu item in the K menu, a little box comes up with an Arch icon and options to end current session, restart computer, or turn off computer. It appears to have been customized for Arch, sine the default KDe menu looks a lot different.

I want to add a button to this menu (one to reboot into windows by calling a lilo -R; reboot command). Only, I have absolutely no idea what file I would have to edit. Where is this menu/theme defined?

Thanks,
Dusty

Re: Customize KDE logout menu?

you could take a look at the official PKGBUILD (for kdebase, I guess) under /var/abs. I would guess the PKGBUILD reveals how the patch is done...

bling bling!

  # Adding new defaults for kdm
  cd $startdir/pkg/opt/kde/share/config/kdm
  mv kdmrc kdmrc.default
  mv backgroundrc backgroundrc.default

kdmrc.default is what you're looking for - it actually has a "UseLilo = false" option already in there!
