You need to run as "sudo" as it is not in your PATH for user: tom

Thanks, Jonathan,
But apparently things have recently changed with the release of Buster.
Ctrl-Alt-Del still gets you out of the desktop--if you happen to be still in the desktop--which in my case, I was not. I believe that in my desperation I tried it, but to be honest, I can't clearly remember.
At any rate, the first article I happened to look at (the link below yours) claims that 'shutdown' is no longer with us:
"Debian 10 has now fully switched to Systemd which means that the traditional commands to halt or reboot a system like 'shutdown -h now' or 'reboot' will not work anymore. ..."

Yep, systemd. This explains it:

sudo systemctl poweroff
sudo systemctl reboot

OK guys,
I lucked out and stumbled on the fix for my artifact. Turns out the message on the screen can be removed with the same key combinations as used to remove widgets *from the panel*, i.e. 'Alt-D, R'. I think. Now I can't find where I saw that out of context. Anyway, having done that fixes the problem installing one-click launchers to the panels too.
I can go to bed happy tonight because *everything* I've set up is now working correctly. Definitely KDE Plasma and definitely not Kubuntu.
But I still need to figure out how to get terminal shutdown/reboot/halt installed. Back to all that excellent documentation in the wikis and the desktop. Must be in there somewhere.

Hello NMGLUG,
I've got a two-day old install of Debian 10 with KDE Plasma desktop ...
*'ctrl-alt-esc' will kill Plasma (but leave application windows running, presumably because they run in different threads) but I don't yet know how to restart Plasma from the terminal, and for some reason there is no 'shutdown', 'reboot' or 'halt' command installed.
