In general, I tend to agree with this idea. The necessity of having a log out sound \
_by default_ is dubious at best IMO. Logging in is a process which may take more time \
than expected, and the log in sound should (ideally) act as a signal that the process \
has completed successfully.  The logout process should be quick and immediately give \
a hint as to what is preventing it from proceeding, like a web browser with multiple \
tabs open for instance. Artificially slowing down the process for "ear candy" is an \
unfortunate practice.  Having said all that I don't remember KDE's logout sound being \
long at all. As a matter of fact I specifically recall noticing that the logout sound \
for KDE 4.0 was really short (especially compared to the one for 3.5). Maybe your \
distro decided to change to a custom logout sound which is longer? \
