There are actually two bugs mangled here. The do-not-ask-before-shutdown bug is in powerbtn.sh and caused by duplicated kded4 processes. The upstream KDE bug is about what actually creates these processes, especially the zombies. It seems like it was tracked to downstream again and the Ubuntu Notification Helper is causing this.

BTW, I see/saw this bug under different circumstances: Back when NM still sucked, I had to use kvpnc to connect to a VPN. That one had to be started as root, causing a second kded process to be spawned (owned by root). That one would break the powerbtn.sh script. I think it still happens sometimes accidently with other apps.

The last few lines in the powerbtn.sh script is a big WTF BTW.
