Missing buttons in KDM login screen

Hello all Slax dudes,

For some strange reason, my KDM login screen does not contain shutdown or restart buttons. It simply does not have this capability. There is nowhere on the screen where I can simply restart or shut down my computer.

Would anyone go as far as to explain why these are missing? Thanks.

Kernel 2.4.29

If you need any more info I will post at your request.

Generally Slackware defaults to the Gnome greeter. I generally select a gnome session, use the gnome menus to turnon on the gdm options for shutdown for all users, etc, then change my default session back to kde.

By the way, both GDM and KDM have facilities to enable and disable this.
GDM: 'gdmsetup'
KDM: somewhere in the KDE Control Center.

Yep, it worked. Thanks a million for your help.
