There's no way to reboot without somehow logging in as root, either on a PTY or through XDM. I do have kdm-3.5.5-r1 emerged. Logging does take me to KDE, but the menus in KDE also provide no way to reboot. Going to root via su is not wonderful either, as execution /sbin/shutdown -r does really strange things until it finally gets clobbered I'd like to clean this up: I'd like kdm, and I'd like a menu entry for rebooting.
