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?

Hi Lisi!
I don't know how to change the timer, but you could assign "poweroff" as the
default logout option and disable the logout dialog. At least that's what I did, now
when I select "Logout" from TDE Menu, my machine powers off.

You can eliminate the timer by deselecting confirm logout in session manager.

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.

In your image you have selected turn off computer. Change it to end current
session. Then with the already deselected confirm logout you'll have your
session quickly ended without any substantial delay.

What was the point of your post? You have working what you want, which is not
what the OP was asking for. OP expressly asked for logout without timer delay,
not turn off computer without delay.

We have different perspectives and made different assumptions. What
the OP wanted to happen after logging out was not specified, just that
there be no timer. My apologies for the wording of my reply.

confirmRebootDelay and confirmShutdownDelay.

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.

Right, not a timeout. I didn't say that.

That's right. How can I get rid of it when using TDE?

Yes, you have already posted, but it isn't relevant to this:
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::11142
I have tried what you suggest before posting this comment,, since it seemed
unlikely that what you suggested would affect the thing that is not a timer,
but a "progress bar" of TDE saving the session.
This does not arise if you don't save the session, which you don't.
All your suggestion appears to have done is make the session save less
accurately - but I haven't tested that by rebooting normally again.
KDE did not tell you what it was doing when it was saving the session, just
took ages. TDE tells you where it has got to. It is a "progress bar" not a
timer.

I only see a countdown timer once in a while when some program refuses to
close. Is that what you're talking about? If so, best solution would
probably be to identify the offending program and shut it down first.

That would
work, but then when I restart my machine, none of my apps will
restart. In my experience, the only apps that hang up the shutdown process
are those that the DE is not aware of, e.g. X applications.

Okay; but you're on a path now to solve a problem that I don't
have. :-)
