--- Comment #1 from Oded Arbel <oded at geek.co.il> ---
Plasma has a confirmation screen with a 30 seconds delay for
shutdown/reboot/logout. This is very useful if the user presses the shutdown
button by mistake.

SDDM does not have that feature - so a single click on the shutdown button
immediately shuts down the computer. This is not a serious issue if no one is
logged in, but if there is a logged in account - everything still shutdown
immediately which may even cause data loss - this just happened to me today
where I lost unsaved text in Kate when I pressed shutdown by mistake in the
SDDM switch user screen.

I think it will be a good idea to have a confirmation dialog in SDDM for
shutdown/reboot regardless if there are logged in users or not.

BTW - I can't find SDDM in the production list.
