Hi,

there is an option in the Login-Manager (you can find it in the 
control-center) under the tab "Shutdown": Allow Shutdown / Local: 
Everybody/Root/Nobody. Maybe it was turned to Root accidentally?

Also, you have to start KDE using the KDM-service and not just with startx.

hope that helps

Mike
