Bug Description
Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
I just upgraded from Breezy Badget to Dapper DRake, and everything looked good. Then I decided to switch over to Kubuntu (kdm login). I used synaptic to add the requiered packages.
After logging on using kdm, the red icon on the upper right launched the familar dialog box, but I saw no option to shutdown the machine. I see the others (log off, switch user, hibernate, etc), but no Shutdown.
Workarounds:
1.) Log off, then use kdm to shutdown the notebook. This is an IBM R40 with 1GB RAM.
or
2.) Switched back to using gdm to login, and that looks fine.
In general Drake feels buggier than Badger (buttons have specks of "dirt" etc).

I would like to confirm this bug. I did a brand new install with Dapper Drake. After the install, the gnome "power button" in the upper right corner showed seven options. The top row was "logout, lockscreen, switch user", while the bottom row was "suspend, hibernate, restart, and shutdown".
I installed all updates with synaptic, and nothing changed. Then I used synaptic again, and installed the "kubuntu-desktop" package. I told the installer that I wanted to use kdm instead of gdm. I logged into the gnome session using kdm, and now the power button in gnome is different. It pops up a top row of "logout, lockscreen, switch user", and the bottom row is "suspend, hibernate", but it doesn't show restart or shutdown any more.
