Hi,
I find the logout dialog to look very crowded. In my opinion it contains too much text, which is distracting. The first time I saw it I actually had to hunt for the right button as my eyes were drawn to all the text. It still looks a bit jarring every time I see it.

I believe the KDE version string should be removed, as far as I can tell it serves no function. The KDE version is better checked from an about dialog. Also, you probably know who it is that is logging out... And even that info is redundantly displayed in the kickoff menu already.

I suggest these two strings be removed. See attached mockup. This could even be done in time for 4.1, as no new strings are added or existing ones modified. Something should be done about the empty space at the top, maybe just squeeze the dialog.
