hmm, well there is certainly a windows xp jellybean style look to the log 
out/lock screen buttons in kde3. there was a lot of concern raised about this 
in the cafe, and i'm not sure if anyone had the guts to raise it here or not 
;)

i recall it being mentioned that this was to highlight powerful functions, 
which is indeed a good idea. however, it seems to me that in other icons this 
is achieved by putting an indented circle round it, which in my view is more 
elegant. i don't think the new log out/lock buttons really fit the kde style

anyway, just as long as the artists are aware of these concerns
