Neither have I. That's why it was kind of unsuspected...

working as usual, without any problems.

I'm still asked for root password when trying to locally shutdown the
computer. I have never had this on from either the KDE control center
or YaST. And they are both now configured so that local users can
shutdown. Why is it still asking for the root password? Anybody?

Check in YaST -> System ->/etc/sysconfig Editor

Pertinent settings should be:
Desktop/Display manager/DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN

There is no DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN, but there is KDM_SHUTDOWN. For
that I had "auto", but now it was "local" (I just changed this from
YaST/Security and users/local security...

System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY

For this I have "easy local" also.

For ref. mine are "auto" and "easy local" respectively, and I can
shutdown from the desktop.

I just changed the KDM_SHUTDOWN back to "auto" to have the same
settings as you. But now, still I'm required to enter the root
password to shutdown.

Hmmm. I'm on 10.1, so that may be the difference in settings names.

Having changed the setting, the programs will possibly need to restart to pick
up the config changes. I'd recommend from a vt console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) as root:

# init 3
# SuSEconfig
# ldconfig
# init 5

The middle two may or may not be necessary, but won't harm nothing, so why
not?
