No idea, sorry.
It must me something related to dbus or whatever processing system
employs KDE to communicate applications with the low level stack, I mean,
whatever is preventing the shutdown inside the desktop is not an
application or a process that you could "kill".
Gee.. desktops are becoming more and more complex by every hour :-)

Okay, but I meant if -despite the log- that Akonadi error was also
present on a fresh new created user. IIRC, you said the error was not
reproducible on a new user :-?
