I can see the same issue in my desktop with kdm, but I've never had the energy to bisect or look further into it, so I just type halt or reboot in xterm :-(
But the fact is that a few days ago I tried rebooting through kdm button, but it left me with a console login screen (and no reboot).
It also happened a few times before too (and I am always using a uptodated 2.6.25-rcX kernel).
