Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE Status|REPORTED |RESOLVED --- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- ksmserver performs cleanup and informs apps that a session-ending action has been requested, so I'm not surprised that killing it is faster, because it means that none of that happens. It also means that any app with unsaved changes dies immediately, destroying your work. Hence why it exists. :) So here's what's going on: when there's a delay like the one you're describing, it means one or more apps are taking a long time to respond. Steam is a common culprit. Ultimately there's nothing we can do about that, though we can do better about communicating the cause for the delay to the user. I'm marking this as a duplicate of the Bugzilla ticket tracking that request. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 188476 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
