I think what you need to figure out is what command KDE uses to "save current settings" I'm more familiar with gnome, but I know that it does not always save your settings just because you log out. Is KDE the same way? If so, there's your solution. Just add that one to your log out and shut down script. Also, I'm not sure if I'm completely following your logic (by one command, is one button also a valid way for you, or are you trying to get it so that it works properly remotely? If that's what you want, then just ignore the rest of my babbling) But if one button works for you, try out KDE 3.1. That's what I've been using for the past week or two and it seems to work quite well and when you click on its shutdown button, it gives you that little popup like windows does...you know, the "by shutdown, do you REALLY MEAN log out, shut the computer down, or reboot?" one.
