system hangs during shutdown

I had this very same problem, and searching for its solution
I found this list. My KDE would sometimes stop, sometimes it
wouldn't, sometimes it would shutdown, but usplash wouldn't
work. If your problem is something like that, try what I did:
edit your kdmrc file (/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc), and in the
[X-:*-Core] session, uncomment or add the line

TerminateServer=true

That worked for me. I don't have much time now to search for
the reasons why it work, but try it anyways. I hope it helps
you.
