I had similar problems with the "stable" kde 4.4.5 where I was unable to logout/shutdown. A rebuild of KDE resolved that, not sure which part was malfunctioning. Please try rebuilding those and see if it works. I had the issue as well when all programs were already closed. So it might not be those two causing the problems. I will test logging out with konqueror and kpatience running on 4.6.0 (testing) when I get back home tonight. I didn't see this problem with this version yet. FWIW, I have not seen any issues with 4.6.0 (including the 4.6 version of kdepim) that weren't solved by fixing other packages and I have been running it for a couple of weeks now. -- Joost PS. I did wipe my ~/.kde folders as I had some issues caused by settings that were already present since 3.3.x...
