Don't have this problem - shutdown with Konsole, Dolphin and KMail open.
Maybe gkrellm caused the problem?
Don't see why it would - it has been installed and running as long as F10.
It's either an update (and I don't remember one in the last 24 hours) or a
config change somewhere. SystemSettings still says that Everybody can shut
down.
Of course it's possible that something is hanging and that it's waiting for a
timeout. I left it a few minutes, but not for an hour or more. But if it
were that, would clicking on the desktop bring it back to life?
