           Summary: KDE logout/shutdown waits infinitely for DrKonqi
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: devurandom at gmx.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

When KDE software crashes during logout/shutdown (which happens often in
polkit-kde or kontact), KDE will wait infinitely long for the spawned DrKonqi.
This prevents shutting down KDE from remote/console (in case one does not want
to forcedly killing *everything* as happens with halt or pkill).

I propose that instead it should wait only a defined amount of time (but maybe
still infinitely on debug systems/-DDEBUG) until it forcedly closes all
applications.

Reproducible: Didn't try
