Why?  What's wrong with selecting Logout from the K-menu or right clicking on 
the desktop?

Issuing 'sudo halt' from a terminal session implies that one has one open...  
(or else it's more clicking to get one)    and I would also guess that doing 
a halt  would not allow KDE to shut down properly......

Just my $.02
