K-Menu Shutdown options

[BostonBrother]

I'm not sure if this is a compiz setting or not, but after installing compiz the only shutdown option I have is to log out. Once I get to the login manager I am then able to choose other options ie restart, shutdown, restart x, etc. etc. I've poked around and haven't been able to find a setting that allows me to shutdown or restart without logging out like I was able to before installing compiz. Is this an issue with compiz, or me just not knowing what configuration file to set? Oh yeah, I'm using Gutsy.

Re: K-Menu Shutdown options

I have the same problem, and, changing that doesn't seem to fix it (besides that I have to use:
kdesudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/systemsettings
to be able to change it in the first place).

Is there a text file with this option that I could manually change?
Where are those kind of system settings located in a flat file?
