--- Comment #58 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
Your issue with "Ding" is something else.

Basically the problem here is that a stuck process can delay logout for 120
seconds by default with systemd. That time is configurable by the user and the
distro though.

So there are two ways that this kind of problem can be fixed:
1. The targeted solution: fix the app in question so it doesn't hang on quit.
That's what happened with SDDM, which is what the bug report was originally
about. Drawback: potentially need to fix many things. It's a gave of
whack-a-mole.
2. The nuclear solution: at the user or distro level, set the timeout to
something short like 5 seconds. Drawback: still delays logout by some amount of
time, even if it's not as long. Not really a true solution to the problem.

Neither can be done by KDE. The first option needs to be changed by individual
apps, and the second option needs to be changed by distros or users. Both can
also be done, but neither can be done by KDE.

Hopefully that clarifies things a bit.
