Yes, KDE uses /etc/plasma/shutdown/10-agent-shutdown.sh and I guess gnome 
would have its equivalent, but I think this is only for any daemonised 
services running on the desktop.

I suspect that:

/usr/bin/kdeinit4_shutdown
/usr/bin/kdeinit5_shutdown

are used to shutdown gracefully any KDE apps.

I tried the above shutdown commands but they didn't work.  Unfortunately 
enlightenment does not have anything available to stop desktop applications at 
shutdown.  The dev's advice was to use .xinitrc or equivalent.

Well my confusion is that my .xsession *was* working fine until a couple of 
weeks ago ... and all still works as expected when I run akonadictl stop in a 
terminal before I shut down.  I don't know why the same command behaves 
differently in .xsession now.  :-/

PS. When I just log out there is no delay.  The problem only arises when I 
shutdown.  I wonder if this is something to do with this darn sddm display 
manager ...
