I do have that blue button, but it invokes the shutdown procedure :-/
Ctl + Alt + Backspace does work for me, since I have the DontZap Serverflag in
my xorg.conf.The C+A+BS 'solution' was actually written in annoyance since I
fell in the logout trap for the gazillianth time.
In another post I also saw the sysprint button mentioned, but I don't know
which key that is.
Right-clicking on the desktop and choosing Logout does have the desired effect,
thanks!

On my brothers system (Kubuntu with KDE 4.2.2) that logout button does what is
supposed to do. Does that mean that this is a Debian packaging problem (and
therefor should be reported on b.d.o) ?

sysprint is the key you press when you want a screenshot of your desktop, usually it's
already bound to ksnapshot.

Ok, good news. At least you don't need that combination unless you have real big problems.

This is the first time someone reports this issue here, thus I think that this could be
just your problem (i.e: misconfiguration). Indeed I have several Debian installations and
none behaves in this way. Have you given a try to a completely new user?

I think I had this problem as I first run kde4 after it hit testing.

Have a look at the session manager settings, turn them right or try to
toggle some properties and sort of re-apply if it happens they look good.

Time to fix this, whoever is maintaiing it!

Select confirmation. Then it should work OK. You will get a confirmation
dialog and OK will log out.

Ah ok, the PrintScreen button. Thanks for clarifying.

The only configuration I did wrt Session Management is disable the confirmation
on logout (althought it applies to all others as well).
Thanks to David/Patrice, I tried with switching that setting on and off and I
can see a clear pattern:
- confirmation on -> logs out
- confirmation off -> shutdown
