I initially had one user set up on F9, and had all 3 buttons (logout, restart, and shutdown) available when pressing the "leave" button on KDE's menu. I added another user, and still had all 3 options when pressing the leave button. that applied to whichever user I was logged in to.
The latest updates as of 20081216, which updated a load of KDE stuff, have reset the goalposts somewhat, as now when I press the leave button for either user, all I get is the option to logout. The restart, and shutdown buttons no longer exist.
Anyone know which file to edit, to get all 3 options showing again, when I press the leave button in KDE's menu.
I've been into system settings > advanced > session manager, and the "offer shutdowns options" box is still checked.
Any pointers to resolve the problem will be very welcome.
Nigel.

We had that problem in F10 for about 10 days. A new set of updates came out just before Christmas fixed it. I'd guess that you'll get the fix in a few days. HTH

Hi Anne.
Thanks for that info. I'll just patiently hang on a few days.
All the best.
Nigel.

rpm -q dbus
It's most likely an issue between kde and using gdm (dbus communication failure), a workaround includes switching to kdm, by either rpm -e gdm or editing/creating a file: /etc/sysconfig/desktop , containing: DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE (and reboot).

That's 2 weeks out of date. Please update again.
In particular, there is a fixed (reverted) dbus (1:1.2.4-2.fc9) which fixes your issue (so at the very least do a "yum update dbus"). This issue is caused by a dbus update, not a KDE update, KDE was just one of the apps hit by the D-Bus change, which got reverted because of the breakage it caused.

Just to confirm that I did the updates last night, and the 3 options when pressing leave are now displayed again.
My history file shows, dbus, dbus-libs, and dbus-x11 reverted from 1.2.8-1.fc9 to 1.2.4-2.fc9.
Thanks to you Kevin, and Rex, and of course Anne, for your help.
Nigel.
