logout shortcut?

So I'm using KDE after installing SUSE 10.2
I like it so far.
I had an odd thing happen to me though the other day, unfortunately I have a KVM switch on the machine, so I didn't see it all happen.
Anyway
I switch over to the suse 10.2 machine. It had been doing something using Kcron, so I was letting it do it. i just wanted to check its progress.
Anyway, when I switch over, it looked like the user had been logged out.
I'm at a comand line login. So I switch back over to the other machine to look at what was going on there. A few minutes later, I switch back to the suse machine and I'm at the blue screen where you can enter a user name and their password.
So I'm wondering is there a keyboard shortcut that will log me out of the KDE environment. My keyboard was propped against my machine on the floor, so its possible I kicked something, but that seems a bit unlikely.

Or:
Is it possible that someone had hacked into my system and logged me out? and if so, how would I find that out?
Well, any help is appreciated.

RE: logout shortcut?

Ctrl+Alt+Delete will log you out, and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will exit the X server. Both will bring you back to kdm, where you can log back in.

The logout could also be due to a crash or something, although it doesn't happen very often. I think it's very unlikely that your computer was hacked.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I was thinking that a hack would be unlikely, but I guess I'm a bit paranoid.
Would a crash show up in a log somewhere?

nycjeff, if the X server crashed, you might be able to find some info on it in /var/log/Xorg.log or alternatively Xorg.0.log. Could be worth a look if you're curious.

jimmyfg, glad you enjoyed the shortcuts. They should work in any X environment, Gnome, *box, etc.
You can also easily add more keyboard shortcuts in KControl > Regional & Accessability > Keyboard Shortcuts
