I think that my problem is unrelated. I logged out and removed all 
configuration files that contained references to the nix store in my 
~/.kde directory. My problem still occurred when I logged in again and 
tries to shutdown my system.

My .xsession_errors finishes with:

So, I wonder what's inside these shutdown scripts...
Also it seemed that some program was still running by the time the 
xserver died...
