The problem is that when you launch a KDE session from gdm, the shutdown
and reboot options are unavailable from the logout screen, because these
depend on KDM as much as Jarno's modified gnome-session that offers the
same functionality depends on (a patched version of) gdm. Unless there is
a common standard for this feature, both desktops need their
respective display manager to be fully functional.
