Hello all, I have problem logging out of my kde session with one user. I have added another user and that user can log out without a problem. The original user cannot log out, reboot or shut down the computer with the kde log out dialog, of course I can reboot and shutdown from the console. The newly created user can do all of the above without incident. I use kdm display manager and I am up to date in all software packages. In fact this problem surfaced after the latest round of updates. The user in question can log out, reboot, and shutdown from a gnome session so seems to be kde related. Any ideas where I should start to look into this problem?

The second user account was just setup to see if the problem was a local one or a more global one. Since it works fine in the new account it seems to be only a local problem to the one user. I was hoping to find one or two local files that I could delete and not the whole .kde folder. Any suggestions?

Well I did as you suggest and I can reboot or logout or shutdown once but as soon as I log in again and try any of the above again it fails. If I <ctr alt f2> and stop X it will go back to the login screen (kdm) I an I can either reboot shutdown or login from there. Seems like something is consistently screwing with the above mentioned files. Do you think backing up the entire .kde directory and logging out and in again might solve the problem as Anne says?

It seems to be the only thing I could get to work to solve this problem. Thanks to everyone for their help.
