shutdown from KDE suspends machine (and shuts down when resumed)

For some days now, when I select poweroff from KDE, the machine seems to shutdown but sometimes (not always)
goes into memsleep instead of shutting down. When this happens, if I resume the machine pressing the poweron button,
it resumes to the middle of the shutdown process (ie: ends up shutting down).
You can see last nights systemd log here: http://pastebin.com/Vmnq2cdT
You can see it seems to want to suspend, but after returning from memsleep it actually triggers a shutdown.

Do you know what could be happening?

Anyone?

Now I see that if I choose logout, the machine goes to memsleep.
Have no clue about why this is happening.

This may sound crazy, but try shutting down and removing all power sources (battery, plug, etc) for a minute and then rebooting.

For some reason, my laptop does something like this sometimes- I guess the ACPI implementation is buggy in the BIOS or something. But my laptop will only start behaving itself again if I remove the battery. I have to do this every few months...

It's probably not your problem, but it's worth a shot.

But this started happening just a few weeks ago. There's something in software that is not right that triggers a memsleep after choosing log-out from KDE.
I suspect something related to systemd, but I'm not sure how is this being called.

I'm suspecting it is systemd-logind, the first suspicious message I've found in the logs was from systemd-logind which said "suspending". I've set everything to ignore under /etc/systemd/logind.conf. I'll see if this is fixed.
