In my case the error message (in the persistent window which is annoying you) said something about KICKER being the source of the error. Not being particularly sophisticated in config files and not wishing to spend hours changing everything one at a time, I renamed $HOME/.kde/share/config/kickerrc to something else and shutdown now works OK. KDE built a new kickerrc of course and I had to make by kicker look like I wanted it again. Bogus ___________________________________________________ .
