Hi Kevin,

It appears to be that an other troublemaker is the culprit. SELinux in 
permissive mode (!?) blocks the reboot/shutdown action and/or 'replaces' it by 
a log out. In restrictive mode logging in takes more than 30 seconds to 
succeed. Now, SELinux disabled, everyting works smooth. Also the nepomuk 
crashes [1] are gone. There must be something very wrong with SELinux, I'll 
file a bug report against it. :-)

Thanks,

Martin Kho
