as figured out here (https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/4606#comment:3) KDE prevents logoff/shutdown if vlc is running.

Steps to Reproduce:
- start vlc playing music/film/whatever
- klick shutdown in kickoff or logoff-button

Actual Results:  
shutdown breaks, vlc exits

Expected Results:  
shutdown

"Shutdown cancelled by vlc" means that shutdown was cancelled by vlc, enough said.
