Do you use KDM as display manager? If yes, check in the Login
configuration (System Settings->Login screen->Shutdown tab) that your
user is actually allowed to do things like that.

You should probably install a GTK theme. QtCurve is a possibility,
very flexible and provides a uniform theme among KDE3, KDE4 and GTK
applications. When you installed that, create a link inside your home
directory:

cd ~
ln -s /usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc .gtkrc-2.0

Kind regards,
