            Bug ID: 326904
           Summary: kde hangs if I try to logout graphically
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.11.2
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

Whenever I try to logout by clicking on a logout option, the screen goes gray
with the mouse cursor present and movable.  The only way I can recover is to
power off or alt-f6 to a console and use init 0 or init 6. I am using 4.11.2
with Kubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on the desktop, select 'Leave'
2. Select 'logout'
3. Also happens if 'logout' is selected via the launcher
Actual Results:  
The screen goes gray with only the mouse pointer active.  The graphical
interface is frozen at that point.  Using Ctrl-Alt-F2, F3 and so on allows
operation through the console. At this point, after logging in on the console,
commands such as 'init 0' or 'init 6' can be entered to restart the system.

Expected Results:  
KDE should have logged off the current user and prompted for new user.

I am connected to the Kubuntu backports repository and keep up with KDE
releases that way.
