Any light is highly appreciated. Well, from the code it is obvious that an application can do this. I think that that is not a good idea. KDE should give applications a (perhaps configurable) time limit in which respond or be killed. If I select shutdown, I mean shutdown. It's ok to be able to stop a shutdown in progress, and the applications can ask questions, but any dialogs must time out and allow the shutdown to continue. Otherwise, you have to babysit your computer through the shutdown process. This should *not* be up to the applications. This should be something KDE enforces. Like init: ... sending TERM to all processes... ... sending KILL to all processes... -- regards. Esben ___________________________________________________ .
