Hi, There was a thread here a few months ago in which it was noted that any running drkonqui processes prevent KDE from logging out. I just noticed the following lines in the 'startkde' script: # wait if there's any crashhandler shown while dcop | grep -q ^drkonqi- ; do sleep 5 done So, if you want to change that behaviour, I imagine that commenting out those lines from $KDEDIR/bin/startkde would produce the desired effect.
