login-dialog? Are you starting kde from the console with startx, or do you 
have kdm installed? You need kdm for this to work. Perhaps KDE is resetting 
this option because kdm is not running? Make sure kdm is configured to allow 
anybody to shutdown.

Same again, you need kdm running for this to work. If you do in fact have kdm 
running then perhaps you have encountered a problem specific to your distro. 
What are you running?
