GDM / KDE compatibility

Hello everybody!

I'm really (extremely) jealous of the GDM login--it's really purdy. I tried using it -- and it had a few kinks to work out, but i fixed most of them (xinerama, kde as deafult session)

now, i'm really wanting to have the KDE logout box that lets me Restart of turn off my computer. I don't want to have to see GDM again to shut it down.

Is there any way of achieving this feature without using KDM? preferably GDM because i'd like to make a few themes for it.

Thanks for Responce

Perhaps you just need to configure these options in KDM and donÄt have to run it.

open a Terminal, and use the command "reboot", or "poweroff".
You could make one-liner scripts (one with a line that says "reboot") and then put it on your desktop, on the Panel... etc. and then just click the icon and it should reboot.

well, I haven't tried it but it should work in principle ;) hehehe

To make gdm run kde all you have to do is click on the sessions button if you have one in your theme and click kde.

It may ask you wether you want to make that the default for the next time you login - Say Yes you want to make the change and then that's it!

No. I think it's the other way around. He wants to finish KDE without seeing GDM again.
Perhaps the developers of GDM and KDM should meet. I don't see a practicable solution.
Expect the worst, it's the least you can do.

GDM does not have such an option, so either use KDM of stick with the fact that you can only logut in GDM.
Other solution is to creat a button that executes the halt-command.
Be aware that session management doesn't work in that case.
