Currently using 11.4 Milestone 6 x86_64
Gnome as default desktop, KDE software patterns added
User and root password identical

Local security set to predefined networked workstation (yast2 security)

GDM user login to Gnome - Restart from there and the system reboot directly
without any request for root password. Is that correct according to the local
security setting?

Changed displaymanager to KDM4
-------------------------------
KDM4 user login to Gnome - Restart from there logout to KDM4 and asks for root
password. The issue is that when entering password the input isn't received in
the password field on the menu. The only way to reboot from Gnome using KDM4,
looks to be to su to root in a terminal and from there enter the reboot
command.

KDM4 user login to KDE - Restart from there logout to KDM4 and asks for root
password. Now the password can be entered and reboot does work.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.as above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
as above

Expected Results:  
Not sure if using GDM also should ask for root password after user Restart from
Gnome?
Using KDM4, the requested root password should at least be received and then
reboot.
