Bug Description
I'm using xfce4 on Ubuntu 12.04.
If I try to logout from the session, nothing happens. Only programs with still unsaved work will pop up and ask me to save work. However, even if no applications are running, the logout does not happen.
If I retry the logout button, a message stating that I can't logout while the logout service is busy appears. I can not launch new applications either. This way the system is unusable by the means of xfce. It is possible using Ctrl-Alt-Delete to log in as another user from lightdm, but it is not possible to log out the first xfce user nor to restart the system.
This has slight security implications, as without log out, crypted home directorys would stay mounted, if the user finaly leaves the device, unable to log off.

There are no visible syslog messages related to this, nor excessive cpu usage of any xfce component in top.
