When I attempt to shut down my 10.2 system from KDE, the shutdown process stops when it's almost done. I get to runlevel 0, and then get these messages:
Failed services in runlevel 0: lm_sensors webmin Skipped services in runlevel 0: Susefirewall2_setup
And then the computer just sits there. The only way to stop it is with the power-off button.
The problem started after I turned off ACPI in the BIOS, though I didn't immediately realize that. Turning ACPI back on restored the correct shutdown behavior. There still might be a bug lurking here, though; why should the ACPI setting prevent the computer from shutting down?

In my experience the shutdown from the various GUI choices are problematic, intermittant and not reliable. Using as root from a terminal session: shutdown -y -g0 -i0 always works for me.
Since when does SUSE accept the Solaris command options? According to the man page (and the usage message) SUSE still uses the traditional shutdown -h now style to call. (Which is actually better, IMHO; if I want to switch to another init level, I can use telinit and maybe shutdown -k before.)
