I added the button, but pressing it still pops up a rather nice dialog
with only one option: Log Out. Same as with the red button in the
Kmenu or by right-clicking the desktop. I'm not sure of the English
translation of the text of the red button but it's probably something
to the effect of "End Session".

In Fedora clicking the same button presents the user with the options
of shutdown down the computer, reseting, logging out, suspending, or
hibernating.
