Wow I WAS rather vague wasn't I, Danny kind of covered for me though, I'm
running KDE. The problem happened with both mdkkdm and kdm and the problem
was as rcc stated in the paths to the RebootCmd. When I replaced:
RebootCmd=/usr/sbin/rebootin
with:
RebootCmd=/sbin/reboot
things acted as they should and the computer restarted.
I normally like to try and fix problems that I'm having myself rather than
bother folks here, but I guess maybe I shouldn't be so reluctant because
there just may be some other folks that are having the same problems and are
hesitant to say anything for fear of feeling stupid.
Thanks for the help you all.

The world really isn't any worse. It's just that the news coverage
is so much better.
