If that works, my
first guess for problem shutdown in KDE would be a setting or problem with KDE. Maybe someone else will jump in and offer an opinion as well. I know there is something in YaST2 that let's you set the shutdown procedure, but don't remember the exact place.
That's in Yast2/system adminstration/login manager/shutdown.
There is also a setting to let "everybody" shut things down, you might check to see if you changed that at some point mistakenly to root only.
Nope. I checked and shutdown is set to "local/everybody."
Report back with your findings. Baby steps to track it down. ;o)
Thanks! Gil =========
Ok, Gil, I think we might be back to someone else's suggestion then. You have a stray program running that KDE can't seem to kill on shutdown. You can close anything running, especially non-KDE programs down before attempting to logout. Be sure to check your systray for anything there, other than normal stuff and check the taskbar for any other windows/programs open still. If that works to cure your problem, then if you like, you can start eliminating them one by one, until you find the rogue program! If it continues to hang after quitting everything, then we might have a program that closes it's window, when you select quit from the menu, but not actually quitting! You can press ctrl-esc to get kdesysguard up and see if they all quit and were removed from the list of processes.
