I've experienced similar problems with Gnome logout taking a long time, and that always happened whenever I had Xterm windows open. I suspect session management is the culprit. However, now I use Gnome-terminal, even though it is awfully slow in comparison (IMO, one of the top most annoying things about Gnome, a basic thing such as a terminal emulator should work properly), and so the problem disappeared. -- < Øyvind Stegard <oyvinst@xxxxxxxxxx> < University of Oslo, Dept. of informatics < http://www.stegard.net/ < "If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished."
