           Summary: "Shutdown" should shutdown the computer
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mleduque at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

It is expected that when you engage the shutdown procedure (for example, by
pressing shutdown in the menu), the computer will shutdown, and that the user
doesn't have to keep looking at the computer to make sure it will.

I have two example of cases when that will not happen :
- when you're logged in on a VT (KDE will put a dialog box to show you the VT
then wait until the next morning for you to notice).
- when you had VLC opened, even doing nothing ; in that case, there will be a
notification saying that VLC had cancelled the shutdown ; then VLC is closed
and the computer patiently awaits until the next morning.

In those cases, shutdown is a conscious operation from the user, he knew what
he did, there is no reason not to shutdown.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
-switch to VT1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
-login
-switch to KDE (often, Ctrl+Alt+F7)
-shutdown in the menu

Actual Results:  
There is a dialog box that says you are logged in on VT1 and ask you if it
should close it and shutdown or cancel shutdown.

Expected Results:  
The computer shuts down.
