Following a few more tests

While using evince, I had Open Office open as I was doing some cut-and-paste
from the PDF to the ODT file.  With Gnome, the shutdown button (for
shutdown) and the logout function on the logout button stop functioning, but
the switch user works. After a switch user, the poweroff button on the login
screen functions.

Just starting evince and loading the PDF does not cause the problem. It
appears to occur after some period of pdf scrolling.

Perhaps there is another test that is bizarre. If after startup of Debian, I
log to the account, then logout and log in again, the second logon is
faster, and the evince problem did not occur (1 time only).

So, good hunting and good luck

Happy New Year, welcome 2011
