To be honest, I don't understand why "Logout", "Shutdown" and "Restart" are 
considered more usable than "end current session", "turn off computer" and 
"restart computer". The second (long) version is IMHO less technical and even 
describes better what will happen: when running kde without kdm/gdm, logging 
out from kde will just "end the current session", it will not really 
"logout". Also "turn off computer" is better to understand than "shutdown", 
which is IMO quite technical. Also "Restart computer" is less ambigous than 
"Restart" (the computer, KDE, X ?).

Additionally, your new version with buttons doesn't look cool anymore IMO, it 
looks like thrown together.

So, my advice would be either get the people here agree to your original 
version or just leave the logout dialog as it is now.

Bye
Alex
