No not yet. First of all, I use XFCE (so neither Gnome, nor KDE). Upon X logout, I get the the confirmation screen whether I really want to logout, but also buttons to restart or shutdown the PC; the last part I want to block for regular users, but that seems to be nearly impossible in Fedora.... I hoped that the KDM login manager also has this for logout, but that does not seem to be the case, unless you use also KDE as the session manager. I really have to disable the possibility that a regular user accidentally shutsdown the system, no matter what desktop manages he/she is using. How can that be done in Fedora? Thanks, Rob.
Take a look at the Configuring Console Access, http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.1-Manual/ref-guide/s1-access-privileges-console-access.html
