[Bug 34821] Re: No usplash on shutdown with kdm

[Nael Masood]

Okay, found something interesting.

With edgy (and I assume this is the same with feisty), when I shutdown
straight from KDE without logging out to KDM, the Usplash image shows up
for a second before going black, then reappearing during the shutdown
splash refresh (where the meter goes to 0, then goes back to having
about 25% filled and then continues). However, I found that if I kill
the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace after shutting down, but *before*
the switch to Usplash, the shutdown theme is shown in it's entirety
without going black. Can anybody else who has this problem confirms that
this happens on their machine, and it's not just a fluke on my machine.
