I cannot remember/find anything with a timer. The attached image
settings turns my PC off when I click Log Out. With Confirm Logout
selected I also have to hit enter (or click an option), but no timer.
...None of the TDM Session Manager options invoke a logout countdown
timer. I'm wondering if the OP is using a different display manager,
e.g. KDM which has such a timer.
Here is one possibility - if the user instead of the classic Trinity menu
uses Kickoff menu, there is a countdown at logout / reboot / shutdown.
Perhaps
that is the case. I have attached an image of the window in
question. This did not appear when I was using OpenSuSE's KDE3 package.

This question was discussed sometime ago. This is not a time out but the
fact that tde/kde3 stores the state of the applications you are running
when you exit the session.
I don't think KDE3 did it differently. The notification window was just not
there AFAIR.
@home I have /home on nfs - it takes longer compared to when /home is on
local drive.
If you are the only user of the notebook and you don't have to change
profiles (like I do), you could use hibernation. You even do not have to
reopen applications or log in.
To the original subject I have the impression that kmix takes too long (like
few seconds), but I never had time to look into what it does on shutdown.
anyway thanks for the screenshot, because there was speculation what you
originally mean.
