Cannot shutdown from Gnome
Debian 3.1
Currently using Gnome/GDM.
I was using KDE, but thought I'd give Gnome a try, and I actually like it a lot.
When I go to 'logout' in KDE, it brings me back to the gdm, where I can choose to 'shutdown', which works fine.
However, in the Gnome environment, when I choose shutdown from the desktop drop down menu, my machine reboots instead of shutting down.
Any ideas?

your default desktop manager is KDE so GDM (GNOME) wont provide those options. set GDM as default desktop manager.
casperIt is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

KDE works fine with GDM (shuts down after logging out to GDM)
