how to shutdown Gnome directly without getting exited into the login screen?

Hi all,

I am running Opensuse 11.3 which had the KDE desktop loaded by default. I have since installed the Gnome desktop which I access via the log in screen whenever I want to use it.

One thing that is annoying me is that whenever I load gnome I am unable to shut down the computer directly from the gnome panel.

When I click the shutdown button, I want the computer to shut down, but rather gnome exits into the login screen and it is from there that I need to click the shutdown button in order to shutdown the computer.

Is there a way to avoid this and be able to shutdown from the gnome panel?

Please note, I do not want to uninstall KDE as a solution, I would like the flexibility of having both desktops.

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards,

You need to switch to the Gnome session managers. like this
