Yes, postgresql waits 90 seconds until all these akonadi attempts to reconnect 
its agents finish, then X exits, postgresql shutsdown and then system shuts 
down as expected.

I can't either, but I am clutching at straws here.

Thank you this did not work.  I didn't know that /etc/local.d/ scripts run at 
shutdown, but in any case even if they do I suspect they don't run until X 
exits first.

I usually have a terminal open (more often than I have kmail) so I will need 
to remember to run 'akonadictl stop' in the terminal before I shutdown the 
machine.  It's not ideal, but unless something can stop effectively akonadi I 
can't exit X.
