Title:
  KDE session does not have shutdown/restart options available if
  session is started via LightDM

Status in “kde-workspace” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  ---- 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.
