"Shutdown" and "Restart Computer" options in KDE

In Fedora, if you are using KDE, there is no option called "Shut Down" or "Restart Computer" , like you have in GNOME. This is because Fedora and RedHat uses Gnome Display Manager (GDM) as its underlying display manager ; even when you are using KDE.

To change the display manager in Fedora, append the following line in the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file :
#File: /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
... and restart X. Now you will have the option for shutting down and rebooting your machine in KDE.
