[Bug 30447] Kubuntu and ATI: restart/shutdown problem

[Paulo]

Hey folks,
Any news on this? The only thing I can add is that I was using Ubuntu (Gnome) and I don't have this problem there. It seems to be a problem with KDE and ATI. I just switched back to Kubuntu and I'm surprised to see that the problem persists. 

As mentioned above, using a different driver avoids this issue. Also, I
don't have the problem if I try to restart/shutdown from KDM. It only
happens in a logged-in account (I've also tried creating new ones or
even reinstalling Kubuntu, for that matter).

I think we should fix this for the upcoming release, it's really
annoying to see the computer crashing all the time. Again, I would be
happy to provide any relevant information.

Thanks.
