Note that I always login at the command line interface (CLI), then start 
kde using startx, and return to it when I'm done, as I don't have kdm or 
other graphical login setup -- that's the way I prefer it.  Thus, I don't 
know the details of how the *dms work.  However...

In kcontrol (which has been renamed system settings, altho it's generally 
kde controls not system settings), advanced user settings, session 
manager, you can control whether shutdown options are offered and the 
default leave option.  I suspect you may have that set incorrectly.
