I'm running the KDE 2.1.1 that came with RH 7.1 and I'm really loving it. I
am actually using it on my Macintosh and accessing via VNC as my WIndows box
is apparently in need of a reformat / reinstall. I think that over the
weekend, I'm going to switch my computers around so that my experimenal Linux
computer becomes my main system and the Windows goes to secondary position.
Anyway, my KDE stops and asks me to confirm logout anyway (with a checkbox
option to save current environment) which gives me time to cancel. Strangely
enough, the bottom 3 options - Configure Panel, Lock Screen and Logout aren't
accessible using the control panel editor. I would suppose that there's some
KDE FAQ on KDE's web site or the info can be gleaned from a KDE listserv.
