Version: (using KDE 3.0.3) Installed from: Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker Compiler: gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-16mdksecure When I use Login Manager (Admin Mode) and change Sessions/Allow Shutdown to 'Everybody' and apply, and change Users/Show Users to 'Selected Only' and apply, then exit, the new setting take effect until I restart. Then they are often (but not always!!) lost.
i think this is some mandrake-specific breakage. probably some startup- or installation-script messes up the settings.
AFAIK this is caused by msec (security inspector) - at certain level of security it changes this setting back to "Everybody" (there is some comment it is due to some security flaw in kdm).
