Well, there are a lot of if's in this.

First of all, on my pc the workaround misses a few steps. When you say "get to
kdm" you mean get to the login screen or do you mean before that? And when
switching to a terminal, I also need to log in. There is no way of issuing the
command without logging in first? If all my assumptions are correct, this
should be the list for someone that is not too used to all of the things in
KDE:

1) Turn your computer
2) When you get to the login screen, switch to virtual terminal  ( Ctrl+Alt+F1
)
3) Log in with a user that has sudo rights
3) sudo restart kdm
4) login to kde
5) try rebooting the normal way using the K-menu

It seems to work, but it is difficult to judge without being able to log
exactly what messages are being output during the shut down process.

I have been desperately looking for some way to log everything during a boot
and a shut down, but so far I have not found any way to do it. Seems like there
was a way to log the boot messages before, but it is not working any more.

And yes, there are some ways to see some of the messages, but not every message
that scrolls past in exactly the way they appeared during boot. Any good ideas
for an application that can do the job would be highly appreciated.
