I am running GNOME and had to remove gdm from the system. (Could have 
switched I guess, removing was easier). The KDE Graphical login came up 
on next boot. I believe that kdm should already be installed.
The shutdown is tied to the login managers for both KDE and GNOME. I 
don't know if KDE needs additional setup or configuration to get it to 
work for shutdown available on the desktop. I now shut down via the kdm 
GUI until GDM is fixed.

When you login, do you see the different login manager or is gdm still 
being used.
