[Bug 689242] Re: KDE session does not have shutdown/restart options available if session is started via LightDM

[Aurélien Gâteau]

Here is a debdiff containing a backport of the code which got committed
upstream.

** Description changed:

- I assume this is ConsoleKit related. I do not know if it affects the
- Gnome desktop too. Will investigate further later.
+ ---- SRU ----
+ [Impact]
+ KDE users using LightDM as a display manager do not get entries in the K menu to shutdown and reboot. Additionally, switching sessions does not work.
+ 
+ [Development Fix]
+ Fixed upstream in both master and KDE/4.7. The fix mainly consists of updating KDE code to current LightDM DBus interfaces.
+ 
+ [Stable Fix]
+ Same fix as the development fix, see debdiff.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ - Select LightDM as your display manager
+ - Start a KDE session
+ - Open the K menu, go to the "Leave" section
+ - Notice the lack of "Restart" and "Shut down" items
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ No expected regression.
+ 
+ ---- Original Description ----
+ I assume this is ConsoleKit related. I do not know if it affects the Gnome desktop too. Will investigate further later.
