John,

I'm not logged in at any Linux boxes at the mo, so I'm going from memory 
here.

I assume you're using KDM as graphical login, otherwise this may not be 
applicable.

Have a look under KDE>settings>system administration>login manager

There should be a setting on the last page of the ensuing dialog box 
that controls who can log out and how (if memory serves me correctly).

This your new Gentoo installation?
