No options at shutdown/end session

If I try to end the session in my user account, I can only use "logout" at the bottom of the kde start menu. This reboots the pc.

If I try the same in my root account (a kde GUI), I can end the session and get the dialogue box that offers the options to end the session, shut down the system or reboot the system.

How would I go about getting the same options for my user account ?

You need to use KDM as your display manager. I've used KDE with GDM and seen what you describe before.

which file would I need to look in to see what I've got as my display manager then? because I only use kde so I'm presuming that I've got it set for kdm/e ??

Nope, it doesn't appear to be that, as I get this
