Well, you can't get rid of the logout button unless you modify the
code (not hard, by the way). However, you *CAN* specify whether or
not you want a confirmation dialog before logging out.
In the control center, click on System -> Session Manager. There is a
checkbox with "Confirm Logout". Make sure that is checked.
This applies to KDE 2.x. You *are* using KDE 2.x, right? :-)
