logout button

Hi,
I'm using rh 8.0 with kde 3.0 and I would like know:
- how to set the logout menu item to open a window that let me choose to logout, reboot e shutdown (like gnome)
- how to add a logout button to the desktop bar

Thanks.

.not much information

Well,I can't help you much, sorry...but I can tell you that on my kde 2.2 i've got a button on the taskbar that does exactly what you want. I can't find way to get it off there or putting it there.
It came that way with my distro (mdk 8.2)

Yes, this is the way to achieve the desired thing... but as far as KDE is developed for end-users it should be configured for this that applet to be run by default... May be it is the problem of my distro(gentoo)

default?

it used to be there by default, but isn't any longer because:

o it took up space and cluttered the panel, which is already very cluttered and until this change didn't fit on 800x600

o this same functionality is available from the K menu

o it isn't any more obvious (due to being just icons) than finding this functionality in the kmenu

o most people use those buttons infrequently: so do they deserve such a prominent location?

o they were in a place that was easy to click on, even though they didn't need to be, esp since they result in locking the desktop or starting the log-out functionality
