[kde-linux] Shutdown Problems

[Nathan England]

Hello Hello,

I have a lot of issues shutdown my laptop from within KDE. Not every time, but 
I would say a majority of the time, when I right-click and select logout, then 
shutdown, it begins the logout process and the screen goes black and it will 
sit there forever...

I can hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and it brings me back to the login screen.
I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 and manually run shutdown -h now and it works fine.

My question is, how do I debug what KDE is doing or not doing when I tell it 
to shutdown so I can see what is hanging up.

I have a USB drive with an encrypted volume that I often use dolphin to 
access, I'm wondering if this is part of the issue, but not sure yet. I just 
began noticing this correlation.

Any hints would be wonderful!

Nathan
