Hi,

 Don't know if your bug is the same that I notice sometime: sometimes logout 
just doesn't work from the first try. You have to logout again to actually 
log out from KDE (or shutdown, or restart). Without actually debugging the 
problem it seemed that it happens if you have a root konsole running (with 
MC?) or when KWinTV was running. I tend to think that the root konsole caused 
the problem as it has other problems too (after logging out with a MC started 
in a root konsole session, MC remains in memory and consumes all the CPU 
time). It's true I haven't reported this bug yet, but I will do it soon.

Just my experience regarding logout...
