You can find out with any KDE application by looking at the help menu
and selecting "About KDE". Also, since you said you initially started
you used Gnome, does that shutdown properly?

It is version kde4 4.3.5 release 0

Yes, Gnome shuts down just fine, no problem.

What's interesting is that KDE in superuser terminal and
using the shutdown now or -P or -h command it still won't
shutdown. It brings you to command line.
Then in command line it ask for root password. Type it in and
it run shutdown and it goes back to the command line asking
to type in root password again, round and round.
Can't shut it down.
Boot back up, logout, log in with Gnome, works fine again.

When I accidently lost my shutdown
I created a command line apps that

CODE:
--------------------
sudo shutdown -h now

sudo shutdown -Fr now.
--------------------

Then I added the 2 apps to my Applications menu. These worked for me,

I had no problems with 4.3.5 any release (now 3) with everyday shutdown,
using right click on desktop free space and selecting "Leave ..." that will
show window with options how to leave:
1) Logout,
2) Turn off Computer (with Suspend to RAM and Suspend to Disk as
alternatives)
3) Restart.

The same effect has "Leave ..." button in a panel, it opens the same window.

What is your login manager?
KDE or GNOME (kdm or gdm).
