I use GDM, which is separate from Gnome (the Gnome equivalent of KDM). In my
gdm.conf, I have:
# set SystemMenu to 1 if you want to reboot/shutdown without logging in
SystemMenu=1
I just logout of Gnome, then go to System -> Reboot (or Halt), which doesn't
require
any special permissions. Works great for those unenlightened family members who
hate
Linux :(
