Hmm... I have 7 options:

 * Session - Log out
 * Session - Lock
 * Session - Switch user
 * System - Sleep
 * System - Hibernate
 * System - Restart
 * System - Shut down

KDE4 does allows normal (unprivileged) users to shut the system down,
but that is probably via KDM, which is started as root.  If KDE4 is
using KDM to power off the system, and you're not using KDM, that might
explain the problem.  Not sure what KDE4 does when it wasn't started via
KDM... can you post your ${HOME}/.xsession-errors file somewhere, after
allowing the battery to drain below the "critical" watermark?

Actually I was looking for where I set this up before I sent the email,
and couldn't find it :-)  I must've set it up because it's logging
there...  KDM's config files are under /usr/local/share/config/kdm/ and
I don't see anything about /var/log/kdm.log.
