After months of attempts to fix this, I've finally found one that works for Kubuntu 11.04 (Natty). The problem is that Kubuntu (and I believe KDE more generally) starts the shutdown process in a way different than Gnome/Ubuntu, so even the dbus / netbase fixes, the fix above in #158, and using

Nevermind - figured it out. Kubuntu doesn't assign the slotload CD drive an eject key during setup like Ubuntu does - you have to assign it manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

OK, I’ve made significant progress on what has turned out to be two manifestations of the same problem (at least they seem to be the same problem on my machine, a Dell Studio 1558 with a Broadcom 43224 wireless card, using the Broadcom STA driver). It stems from the pm-utils package, apparently.
