+<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Nicolas L&#233;cureuil at 13/09/12 12:39 did gyre and gimble:
+&gt;<i> Le jeudi 13 septembre 2012 13:32:54 EatDirt a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> seems to have been replaced by /bin/poweroff making kdm failing to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> poweroff. I can open a bug report if needed.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> cheers,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Chris.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> thanks for the notice, i just fixed on the svn. Will be part of the next
+</I>&gt;<i> mageia-kde4-config package update.
+</I>
+Sweet. I had swithered (Scottish word, if you don't know it:
+<A HREF="http://caledonianmercury.com/2010/03/14/useful-scots-word-swither/003379">http://caledonianmercury.com/2010/03/14/useful-scots-word-swither/003379</A>)
+about whether or not to add compat symlinks in sbin, but if there are
+only a few things affected, it's better to fix them at source.
+
+Two points however:
+
+1. As we are post-usrmove, /usr/bin/poweroff should be preferred to
+/bin/poweroff
+
+2. We should really attempt to port kdm to logind. This will give true
+automatic multi-seat support and will allow proper management of
+shutdown and such like procedures without relying on legacy/compat binaries.
+
+If anyone is willing to help on this porting effort, I probably arrange
+some multi-seat h/w through upstream contact (e.g. little USB devices
+you plugin that gives you an extra keyboard+mouse+screen). I'll try and
+speak with upstream about it too, but if someone wants to do some kdm
+hacking from this end, that would be nice!
+
+Cheers
