Bug Description
Executive summary:
command line power down works, from KDE it works in about 35% of all cases.
Details:
When I go to terminal 1 with CTRL-ALT-F1, log in as root and execute "powerdown now"
the computer turns of, including showin immediately a nice Kubuntu logo. This works.
When I select "turn off" from KDE the system logs out of X normally, including playing the sound
and then the following happens:
20% of all cases: graphical garbage appears on top of screen and after a while a brief
flash of the kubuntu logo appears, just before the computer powers down
15% of all cases: kubuntu logo is shown and shutdown proceeds normally
65% of all cases:
monitor looses input signal and goes to sleep, computer completely stuck, have to
switch off manually by pressing power key for 7 seconds.
I seem to remember reading something like this a long time ago in the edgy forums,

Operating system information:
Using Kubuntu Feisty, starting from Beta.

I have to add that also selecting "end session / log off user" from kde does not work.
So the problem occurs when I try to exit the X session in the normal manner, from the graphical environment.
I never have a problem with aborting the X-session using CTRL-ALT-BKSPC, it always starts up normally again then.
