I've used this method before and the user ended up with a KDE
environment that was half messed up (desktop icons shuffled, a few other
settings lost, etc.) when they logged back in.

OK, this appears to have worked well except that it resulted in a
shutdown of the the system.  This is not bad, I was just originally
looking for a way to logout but not shutdown.  I'll go investigate dcop
commands.

Thanks.
