I was not aware of that utility, from the man page:

udevadm settle [options]
        Watches the udev event queue, and exits if all current events are
        handled.

       --timeout=seconds
        Maximum number of seconds to wait for the event queue to become
        empty. The default value is 120 seconds. A value of 0 will check
        if the queue is empty and always return immediately.

Perhaps there is a place to configure that into k3b, and make a write 
verify work?
