I always have a defunct kded4 process since some time around the 4.3 to 4.4 transition.
I have the Kubuntu 10.4 packages with 4.4.3 from their PPA.

$ ps waux | grep kded4
falken 2183 0.0 1.2 132324 25500 ? Sl 18:56 0:08 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]

Amongst other things, this breaks the ACPI power button script Ubuntu uses, causing power off regardless of what KDE has configured.
