Hi, In Fedora 17 Branched restarting or shutting down from Kickoff is no longer working. Pressing one of the buttons results in an end session (log out). At the log in screen it is possible to shutdown or reboot (via Menu-option). May be this issue is caused by the 'new way of rebooting' in systemd? Did anyone else have seen this? Are there any workarounds?

Please discuss this on the Test list. F17 has not been released yet.

How shutdown works in Plasma sessions if you use KDM is that Plasma's ksmserver tells KDM to shut down, KDM (which runs as root) then just execs the basic shutdown and reboot commands which are supposed to still work. We will need to support shutting down directly through systemd (and its D-Bus interface) for GDM users anyway (right now, we use ConsoleKit for non- KDM users, and that's deprecated now), but it's quite likely that KDM will remain the preferred way to shut down.
