Hello. After upgrading to 4.6.2 I cannot shutdown anymore. When I chose shutdowk kdm stops, I'm back to tty1 and thats all. Nothing happens. I cannot find anything suspicious in logs.

@off220: I am also experiencing the same issue. When I click on the red "Turn Off Computer" button, it goes out of KDE, into (tty1), and then I must manually log in (with username and password), go into root (#), and exit the system using "shutdown -h now".

Check the [Shutdown] value in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
It should be something like:
[Shutdown]
BootManager=None
HaltCmd=/sbin/halt
RebootCmd=/sbin/reboot
shutdown -p or whatever in there will fail and drop you to a tty[1]

I can report that 4.6.2 shutdowns fine for me.

I use Arch64 on a Dell Xps Desktop with last kde release. Now when I halt the system through the graphic tool of Kde the system does not switch off. I have the command line shell asking me to log in. So I nedd to log in as root and the switch off with halt command. Any suggestion?

Thank you. That solved the problem in my laptop.

I was searching about this problem for a proper way solve this issue, and this isn't really a bug. Let me explain.
KDE 4.6.2 changed /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file, so the problem is that the old config file is not totally compatible, so to generate a compatible file do the following:
1- Go to System Settings->Login Screen and set the defaults settings, this will generate a new kdmrc file
Note:This is just to regenerate a new kmdrc,with the next settings
[Shutdown]
BootManager=None
HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -p now
RebootCmd=/sbin/shutdown -r now
Which is worng, because shutdown command has no -p argument, so you will be droped to tty1 session...
2- Go to shutdown tab and change the halt setting from "/sbin/shutdown -p now" to "/sbin/shutdown -h now"
3- The theme of KDM also has changed so set your preferred theme and you are done
I hope this helps to understand the source of this problem
Take Care
P.S. You maybe are wondering yourself "Why i want to generate a wrong kmdrc file?" well... apart of shutdown settings, there is other settings in the same file, so is a good idea to regenerate it

2- Go to shutdown tab and change the halt setting from "/sbin/shutdown -p now" to "/sbin/shutdown -h now"
This is correct, but the original kdmrc doesnt use the -p but -P option.
So the line is "/sbin/shutdown -h -P now".
I had the same problem and got the hint with kdmrc in this thread. So I took a look at the pacnew-file (which I obviously should do more often).
I havent shutdown since I replaced kdmrc with kdmrc.pacnew, but I should solve the problem.
So thank you and replace kdmrc
