kde 4.2.2 logout button

This is probably a trivial problem but its started pissing me off, when I click K, leave, logout it shuts down the computer instead of just logging me out. Any help please?

I'm running Fedora 10, Kubuntu 9.04 and gentoo ~amd64 with kde 4.2.2 and have not seen that on any of their kde 4 desktops.

Have you had a look at the kdm settings?

Perhaps it runs halt when you logout or something.

Can't find anything in the settings... weird thing is on the other user account on here the logout button works just fine.

Fixed this by checking 'confirm logout' in the session manager settings... this kinda sucks tho I didn't have to confirm logout/reboot etc before. Is this a bug?

I would probably call that a bug if the default on that was to shutdown. After all, the button is called "logout"

I have the same problem. Sounds like a bug to me... under no circumstances does 'logout' mean 'shutdown'.

Same problem here, running KDE 4.2.2.

Looks like it'll be fixed in KDE 4.3: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191085
