Version: kdesvn as of 2008 Feb. 23 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2) OS: Linux from kde4 svn trunk, (2008 Feb. 23) Logout doesn't work. neither from right clicking on the desktop and selecting 'Logout' nor from going through the menu and selecting leave->Logout. I can select it, but nothing happens.
I cannot reproduce. Is there anything interesting in ~/.xsession-errors.
I have exacly the same problem in two diferent computers with opensuse 10.3 and kde 4.0.2, about .xsesion-errors there is a lot of information but I don't know if there is anything interesting.
I confirm this bug with Gentoo distribution, kde compiled with gcc 4.1.2. It exists in all released kde4 version, ie. kde-meta-4.0.0, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. Selecting logout, power off or restart does nothing and does not generate extra lines to .xsession-errors. It is my understanding that a confirmation dialog should appear, but I have never seen it. The bug exists for all users of the computer, including a new user I created for the purpose of testing this.
This only happens if I use kdm. If I use startx, logout and shutdown work fine.
*** Bug 157433 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
For me, startx or kdm makes no difference, logout still doesn't work. Relevant lines from my .xinitrc are #!/bin/sh ##for kde export KDEDIR=/usr/kde/4.0 PATH=$PATH:$KDEDIR/bin exec $KDEDIR/bin/startkde >$HOME/.Xsession-errors 2>&1 What I neglected to mention before is that I have also kde-3.5.8 installed. According to Gentoo documentation both can exist side by side, so I don't know whether this is relevant or not. For obvious reasons, I am not willing to let go of kde 3.5.8 yet.

I also scanned .xsession-errors again for this test user. Here are some lines that may be relevant: KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/4 Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed t o connect to socket /tmp/dbus-2H3WytdNxD: Connection refused startkde: Shutting down... kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/janitest/.kde/socket-nadsokor/kdeinit4_ _2) failed: : No such file or directory Error: Can't contact kdeinit4!
After installing kde-4.0.4 this bug has disappeared and my logout proceeds normally even saving the session settings.
I had this just before i did an svn up. r825423 of kdebase ---> r827026 Its gone now.
The problem appears gone. I can logout, shutdown and restart correctly.
Fixed, according to last comments.
