What I often get, for good measure, is the systems hang / freeze *before* the logout confirmation dialogue box appears. After the delay, the box appears, you click "Yes", the logout proceeds as normal. I raised this issue months ago, back at 2.0, or thereabouts. Both systems are running Gnome-2.x with default Metacity / settings. Got no answer to my post.., left it at that. Hi there, I just want to say that im using 4.8-RELEASE-p4 on a desktop and i get the same problem with default install of gnome 2.2.2. But for me it isn't always the action->logout that hangs, it is also my browser (im using mozilla-firebird. However Im also running the same install on my laptop and it works fine. The system doesn't hang. There are no error messages that i can see. But i might be looking in the wrong place :) /var/log/XFree86.0.log i start gnome manually from command line with startx.
