Use the qApp pointer. It has a quit() slot.

Well, the KApplication instance is created in your main() function.
After that you can always access it by using the static KApplication method

	Source code
1	KApplication::kApplication()

still lost

I have seen the k_mnu.cpp code to see how they get it done. Here is the relative code... my question is... where did they get kapp from?

if (kapp->authorize("logout"))
insertItem(SmallIconSet("exit"), i18n("Logout \"%1\"...").arg(username), this, SLOT(slotLogout()));

void PanelKMenu::slotLogout()
{
QApplication::syncX();
kapp->requestShutDown();
}
