Been there done that, it makes no difference.
Shutdown is set in the login manager screen, was set as root and as I said
is working from the kdm screen. I can shut down from the kdm menu.

What has dissappeared are the shutdown and restart buttons from the log off
dialog box that comes up when you select log off These buttons should be
controlled by
In Control Centre/Session Manager/General offer shutdown options
but that has no effect.
Switch user has also gone.
