Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
So far I have reproduced this on three machines. If user with admin privs logs out, no problems. If a user without admin privs logs out the logout fails to a VT that says (process:310) GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0).
Trying to switch to a different VT is not successful.
This does not happen when a non-admin user logs out from Gnome (when using KDM).
The systems in question all have various Intel video. There was one report on #kubuntu-devel that the problem was not reproducable on a system with nVidia.
Touching the power button results in the plymouth "splash" screen coming up and a normal shutdown.
TEST CASE:
Create a non-admin user. Log into Kubuntu using this non-admin user. Log out. Log in again. Log out. See the system hang. Restart X. Install the updated package. Restart X. Log into Kubuntu as a non-admin user. Log out. Log in. Log out again. See the system not hang.

Confirmed based on seeing the same problem on three different machines. May be related to Bug #569897.
