I opened Kate to paste some text. It put up a message about saving existing files or data (the message is gone now of course) and when I declined to save it, the desktop shut down, the system shutdown sequence started, and my machine powered off. I'm not sure what logs might have pertinent information about this.
This is just a crystal-ball type guess, the end of the last journal for Felix will be the most helpful -- but...
it almost seems like you triggered a shutdown from the desktop that invoked (k/tde)shutdown which then triggered the prompt to save unsaved documents before continuing. When you chose not to save (or even if you had chosen to save) shutdown resumed at that point and finished shutting down...
The brings up my question, before this happened, did anything funny happen to the mouse? (e.g. it got bumped, a book or notepad slid on top of it, the cat jumped up on the table, etc...) I ask because a right-click on the desktop brings up the kshutdown entry (last one in context menu 'Log out "leslie"') which if (a mouse drop, cat, etc..) occurred could make it look like kate triggered a shutdown when it was actually just a right and left mouse-click that triggered it.
(I ask because I've had those occur...) The savior has been with "Advanced Shutdown Options" configured you are presented with the Log Out, Shutdown, Sleep, etc.. options in the next window which would be telling. And, the fact that to then trigger the shutdown inadvertently would require a right and two-left clicks. Still possible, but less likely.
In the journal output from the last boot, go to the end and back-up to where you get the first indication of logoff/shutdown. Grab probably 10 lines before the start of shutdown through the end. Basically you just want to go line-by-line and see if there is anything that stands out that could have triggered your shutdown. Posting will just get more eyes on the log that may help pick something out. (though absent something really odd, I don't expect any smoking-gun)
Since all processes run in virtual-memory now, it's either got to be something major like a panic and something non-TDE related, or there is an issue in one of the base builds tdelibs/tdebase, etc.. that triggers a shutdown -- or your cat has been busy...
