You need to give a *lot* more detail on this. I assume this is in X. Which
window manager/desktop? KDE? Gnome? Which login manager? kdm, mdkkdm (the
one with the Mandrake images on the buttons) or gdm (gnome/gtk one)?

Do you use autologin or not?

What options do you see when you try and logout?

CTRL-ALT-PGDN still shuts my machine down without prompting (the way I
like it), but I set that up manually in KDE, and I currently use mdkkdm
... so, you see there are millions of possibilities here and you need to
narrow them down. But I have not seen a change in behaviour.

You may want to provide the output of
$ rpm -qa '*dm*'

and
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop
