Oh, I'm pretty sure that Mathijs and I have the same symptoms. I can also logout, but I'm too impatient to wait ten seconds ;-) And yes, KDM is supposed to shutdown the X server (that's enabled in the kdmrc). However, the problem is that KDM notices that the server is already gone before it gets to that point, and subsequently sleeps 10 seconds (there is a sleep(10) in the error handler) and then aborts the shutdown. I'm used to shutting down my laptop, because I used to have a problem with skype after suspend (does not show up anymore lately), but also often cannot use my wireless until after I turned the machine off (cold restart). The latter still requires me to shutdown my machine rather regularly...
