Ok, here come my two cents:

pros:
-your screenshots look really nice

cons:
-it looks different than everything else in KDE
-the cancel button and the hyperlink-style buttons are different than any 
other dialogs in KDE
-it might behave different

I don't know how the XP logout dialog looks like, I never used XP (at work we 
have Windows 2000). The 2000 logout dialog doesn't look especially (actually 
I can't remember right now how it looks). The Mac OS X dialogs usually look 
quite cool. I can't judge about XP usability in general, only two things: the 
find tool in XP really sucks (the old one was it least understandable, 
although not really nice to use), and the "device manager" must be one of the 
most hidden dialogs in an UI. 

Since the logout dialog ain't so much in need of a rework, how about 
concentrating more on konqy ? Or kfind ?

Bye
Alex
