This countdown timer serves no useful purpose for me, since I'm the only user of my machine. How can I turn it off so my logout completes more quickly?
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.
To my knowledge, to set delay for logout / reboot / shutdown there are no items in the UI. It is necessary to make an entry in the configuration file kdeglobals, section General, variables confirmLogoutDelay, confirmRebootDelay and confirmShutdownDelay.

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.
