OK, i need some help here. It'll be greatly appreciated. For hours I've
been trying to find out how to change that "log out" prompt in the KDE
menu. I searched on google but no luck. I use Slack 9.1. I used to have
9.0 and I remember that it was the same there by default but I managed to
change it somehow. I want to get the small window where you have the
option to log out, restart and shut down the machine. any ideas?

And also, how can i set it up that it pops up the small log in window when
I start the machine? i don't want to go to the big screen where only the
"language" and the "session" are options.

Thanks again!

In /etc/inittab, search for:

id:3:initdefault:

and replace 3 with 4.

then, run:
~# telinit 4

After that the kdm/gdm/xdm will appears, you'll log in and if you'll
press now logout and the window with "logout", "restart" and "shutdown"
will be on the screen

Control Center -> System Administration -> Login Manager -> Shutdown Tab

then allow shutdown local:everybody"

Have a look in /etc/rc.d/rc.4 and use XDM instead of KDM

But if you change the desktop manager, KDE logout may no longer give you the
"logout/restart/halt" screen.

Change the login manager to kdm. Change initdefault in /etc/inittab to 4,
and then put kdm at the top of /etc/rc.d/rc.4
