kde: reboot through menu delays

Hi,
I'm new to Archlinux but have set-up everything so far. I've only one problem left: If I try to reboot/shutdown my laptop through the menu option (I'm using kdemod), it takes 10 seconds until it actually reacts and starts the reboot process. But if I type 'reboot' in console it starts the reboot process immediately.

I've checked the messages.log but there are no differences between shell and gui reboot:

This is what I get if do 'reboot' in console:

Oct 25 15:38:44 konqui sudo:     user : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/var/log ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/reboot
Oct 25 15:38:44 konqui shutdown[7559]: shutting down for system reboot
Oct 25 15:38:44 konqui init: Switching to runlevel: 6
Oct 25 15:38:46 konqui NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_signal_handler(): Caught signal 15, shutting down normally.
Oct 25 15:38:46 konqui NetworkManager: <info>  Caught terminiation signal
Oct 25 15:38:46 konqui NetworkManager: <info>  Deactivating device eth0.
Oct 25 15:38:46 konqui dhclient: There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid with pid 7351
Oct 25 15:38:46 konqui dhclient: killed old client process, removed PID file
Oct 25 15:38:46 konqui dhclient: DHCPRELEASE on eth0 to <my-ip> port 67

And this if I go through K-Menu and Select Reboot:

Oct 25 15:41:32 konqui shutdown[7589]: shutting down for system reboot
Oct 25 15:41:33 konqui init: Switching to runlevel: 6
Oct 25 15:41:34 konqui NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_signal_handler(): Caught signal 15, shutting down normally.
Oct 25 15:41:34 konqui NetworkManager: <info>  Caught terminiation signal
Oct 25 15:41:34 konqui NetworkManager: <info>  Deactivating device eth0.
Oct 25 15:41:34 konqui dhclient: There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid with pid 7353
Oct 25 15:41:34 konqui dhclient: killed old client process, removed PID file
Oct 25 15:41:34 konqui dhclient: DHCPRELEASE on eth0 to <my-ip> port 67

Re: kde: reboot through menu delays

I had the same affect with kdemod and never could find a fix. I just uninstalled it and kept using xfce.

Re: kde: reboot through menu delays

Maybe ask in the kdemod forums (http://kdemod.ath.cx/bbs) if it only happens with kdemod

Same problem here, I think it's a kdemod problem
