The session manager shutdown is actually a 2 or 3
phase
affair, and each
phase waits for apps (including kicker, kdesktop, things in
your task
tray, etc.) to shut down normally before forcibly
terminating them. There
are several opportunities for delays, and debugging this
further will
require an instrumented build of tdebase that can profile
the delay
introduced by each phase.
This shouldn't be too hard to look at, please file an
enhancement bug report.

We can file additional information when we start troubleshooting, but as a habit I close
all apps before exiting. KAlarm, KMix, KwikDisk, Klippy, and Akregator are in my system
tray, which must be closed when exiting. I run with one instance of Konqueror preloaded in
memory. Most of the kded daemons are running too.
I'm willing to collect data if anybody offers ideas.
