[ILUG] Re: KDE logout kills gdm's XDMCP

[Danesh Sepanta]

Dear Andres,

the following trick i would recommend you.  It does not seem as an 
optimal alternative but it works for us and could be more sophisticated.

1- vi  /home/$user/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc
2-Add the following options in file:

[General]

confirmLogout=false
offerShutdown=false

The critical point of this problem is offerShutdown. It can be 
problematic, if the users set this options to default. The default value 
is true. Users can configure this via control center/session manager or 
directly by editing the configuration's  file.

Best Regards,
Danesh Sepanta
