When reading the manpage, it seems -h is the correct switch. Without -h or -r
the system goes to runlevel 1.

-P just changes the default halt action.

In any case, it is fixed upstream (I think in 4.6.3) with the following patch:
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-workspace.git&a=commitdiff&h=bb7b6885bc91d698f1d57bbf9e08bd985e34215e

So they chose: "/sbin/shutdown -h -P now"
