Description 2002-10-05 05:01:21 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc3.2 
OS:          LinuxLinux

When i want to leave linux sometimes appears me a window with the kde logo(the litle dragon) wth 3 choices,1-Log Out 2-Reiniciate the computer 3-Halt.
Other time sappears a small window only with the option if you want to save the session.
Should only appear the window with the KDE logo(the litle dragon and with the 3 options.
How can this bug be fixed?

thanks
Jose Melo

the "reduced" logout dialog appears only in the first session after a system boot.     
even restarting kdm does not lead to this effect.    
i have no other explaination than that mdk did some magic that backfired.  
the submitter is highly motivated to try upstream sources, so maybe we'll see later if 
i was right. :)

This bug is not invalid, and is still active.

It has been discussed several times at the mandrake site:
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375

It manifiests simply: on the first autologin session, the logout menu shows only
the 'logout' and 'close' buttions: it does not offer to restart or halt the
computer.

If the user logs out and logs in again with the session manager (any kind; it
perfoms identically with kdm, gdm, or the mandrake session manager) then the
logout dialog appears.

This bug has been around from KDE 3.0. I am currently seeing it in KDE 3.1,
gcc-3.2.2, Mandrake 9.1 installation.

Although an annoyance bug, it makes the close menu more or less usless.
Autologin is most beneficial on single-user machines like laptops.  Unlike
server machines, single-user machines are the most likely to be shut down
frequently (expecially laptops) and rebooted into different OSs (as we are wont
to do).  When packing up to go home for the night, I sure wish I could log out
and close down my laptop with two clicks, rather than logging out, waiting for
XFree86 to restart, waiting for the session manager to boot and selecting Halt
from a menu there.

login/display/desktop manager. in no way session manager.

what proves that it is a mandrake problem. the shutdown options in upstream 
ksmserver (_that_ is the session manager) depend on kdm. dunno what they did 
(maybe just patched in their old system), but obviously they blew it. oh, and kwin 
has definitely _nothing_ to do with it.

So, any new news?
Can it be already be fixed the logout problem?
Comment 7 Oswald Buddenhagen 2003-09-02 13:10:18 UTC
still a mandrake bug, so still not my problem. :-P 
i looked at the mandrake-modified kdm and didn't find anything relevant; they only 
modified the gui a bit. i think http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375 
comment #16 (with reference to #13) makes most sense as an explaination.
