I've never been able to figure out what the heck<br>
the different GUI versions of shutdown actually do, they<br>
often seem broken for some reason. Try typing this<br>
in a terminal instead:<br>
<br>
sudo shutdown -h now<br>
<br>
If that doesn't shutdown, then there is a real<br>
shutdown problem, otherwise there is a KDE<br>
problem.<br>

The shutdown app in the various desktops should perform clean logouts<br>
from the desktop first (e.g. save current layout, save current session,<br>
etc.), then actually run the shutdown command. The one I have in XFCE<br>
does the job fairly well.<br>
<br>
On one machine, I do occasionally have issues with the window manager<br>
not starting properly on a reboot but I suspect that's another issue.<br>
That machine has been upgraded from F14 through F17 and there's still<br>
cruft left over from those older OS versions. Methinks it sometimes gets<br>
confused...much like its owner. :-)<br>
