Confirm! Same Problem!

Problem seems to be the fglrx proprietary driver.

Workaround1: Kill the XServer with Ctrl - Alt - Backspace after it hangs. Shutdown should complete as usual.
Workaround2:
edit: /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
"sudo nano /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc"

In Section:
# Core config for local displays
[X-:*-Core]

change
# Default is 15 (SIGTERM)
#TermSignal=15

to
# Default is 15 (SIGTERM)
TermSignal=9

this also kills the xserver. Not pretty, but working!
