Emacs server not shutting down when logging out of Unity or closing Ubuntu

[Walter Garcia-Fontes]

When I shut down my ubuntu environment, if I have been working with emacs started as server it asks me if I want to kill emacs damon. And I have to manually click 'Close' in order for the shut down to continue and it takes quite long. Instead if I kill the server before logging out the logout/shutdown process is very fast.

I've reported upstream:

Do you know if the same happens in e. g. KDE, Gnome etc?

I don't see this any more in Emacs 24, so closing this bug report, please anybody still affected feel free to open a new report with his/her system information.
