The login screen you see is running on the server, and as the regular
KDM (or gdm, or xdm, or wdm, for that matter) does not know a bit about
LTSP, those buttons refer to the appropriate actions on the server
instead of the terminal.
Alas this behaviour has to be expected.
You can usually turn off those features, for example via the KDE control
center -> KDM settings, or in the config file that may or may not be
found at /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc.
Better tell your users to just switch off the thin client. Isn't it a
pity that users are trained to not switch off devices they do not need
anymore? ;-)

Wyse Winterm running LTSP sounds interesting. Although most people seem
to not like that company much, at least they hand out nice mobile phone
from USB rechargers at trade shows. And sometimes you get those boxes
for a buck or two on ebay. Seems you got a good job done!
