Okay, you can run these two tests:

1/ Try to shutdown as usual by running "shutdown -h now" from konsole

2/ And then you can try to logout by running "killall kdeinit" or simply 
"kdekillall" (recheck these commands, maybe your version of KDE also 
allows another method to get the job done by means of "dcop something-to-
logout") :-)

Note: killing kde init processes will effectively destroy your kde 
session, just ensure you don't have any open document nor program pending 
to be saved before you run it.

Thanks for the log... True is that I can't see a line related to the 
shutdown/logout error but it's plenty of the other Akonadi/Nepomuk 
warnings you also told us.
