Actually, we figured out what caused the Fedora 17 issue and it cannot 
possibly be what you're seeing, the offending systemd change did not go into 
Fedora 16, only Fedora 17.

The Plasma workspace talks to ksmserver, which handles logouts directly and 
uses libkworkspace to talk to KDM or to ConsoleKit for shutdown and restart. 
Pretty much all the relevant code is in kde-workspace.
