Bug#305471: gnome-session: Erratic logout behavior

[Daniel Haude]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.14.3-5
Followup-For: Bug #305471


Hello,

I'm having similar problems: After logging into a GNOME session, I cannot
immediately log back out. After clicking on the "Log Out" button the
confirmation dialog disappears but nothing happens. Then, after one or two
minutes, I suddenly get kicked out of the desktop without notice, regardless
of what I've been doing at that time.

Some process seems to keep the desktop alive, but "top" shows nothing but
idle.

Logout functions normally after the desktop has been runing for a few
minutes.

Maybe this is related: After logging in, the splash window persists for
about a minute with the word "nautilus" at the bottom.
