           Summary: application launcher doesn't properly handle "leave"
                    menu operations
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: fred_wells charter net


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Application Launcher "Leave" menu operations (Logout, Restart, etc.) all perform the same function, which is simply to call the desktop logout menu, requiring the user to reselect the desired operation.  This, of course, is unnecessarily redundant and frustrating for the user.

This is such an obvious oversite that I have to assume the problem to be particularly challenging.  If so, my suggestion would be then to replace the Leave menu altogether with a single button which calls desktop logout.

As is, it serves only to make KDE4 appear somewhat awkward and dis-integrated.
