VLC player cancels KDE logout
Whenever VLC is running and I try to logout of the KDE session I get a systray notification "VLC has cancelled KDE logout" (translated from german), VLC terminates but the KDE session is (as the message suggests) still running and no logout has happened. Since VLC is now closed a second logout approach works properly so I conclude the problem is in between VLC and KDE.
The issue for me is I want to watch a movie and have my computer automatically shutdown after a specified time. With VLC this is not possible as it cancels shutdown at the stage of KDE logout.
If you know a workaround please let me know. I like VLC but I like also my use case :)
I have an up2date archlinux (64bit) system with VLC 1.1.7 (arch package 1.1.7-6). KDE is of version 4.6.1.
I can provide further informations if necessary.
