Bug Description

On Dapper, the following actions does not work in kshutdown.

When you select "Turn off Computer" or "Restart Computer", the "Start [Enter]" button keeps looking grey, so it is impossible to start the action, no matter the one you choose ("No delay" or "Time from now" or whatever).

Can you create a new user account and test please ?
This kind of issue can be due to corrupted kde profile....

Ok, I have found the problem. In fact, it was happening because I use gdm instead of kdm, so I had to set some stuffs.
I had to set "Turn off computer" to "/sbin/poweroff" in settings>configure kshutdown>action). Indeed, I have ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu installed.
So this was not a bug.
Sorry for the time lost.
