Unclean shutdowns happen due to buggy software, changed APIs (especially X
Window System), power glitches (I don't yet have a UPS on this system), memory
leaks, etc.

With any of the above issues and not logging out occasionally, an unclean
shutdown is virtually guaranteed.  And, logging out occasionally is not
practical for me.

It is partly for this reason that I decided to instead use Gnome for the past
few months.  Gnome doesn't lose the workspace configuration.  And that is very
important for me.

But for nearly a month now, I've gone back to KDE.  But, between the
incessantly lost configurations and the non-hiding panels (I hear this is fixed
in 4.1.2), it is driving me nuts.

I'm going to have to move back to Gnome on this machine until I hear that the
configuration stability problem is actually resolved.

I mentioned "pulling the plug" as a way to recreate the issue.  It was not a
description of my shutdown procedure.
