Hi Aurelijus,
Hmm... I'm not sure I totally understand your description of the problem. Could you please elaborate and clarify? You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html or the Ubuntu-X bug reporting guidelines at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting .

Bryce,

this was detected by the "shutdown hang" apport hook. It means that some process was still running during shutdown when /etc/init.d/sendsigs was run, and it didn't get killed by SIGTERM:

root 1212 0.7 0.1 7296 3012 tty7 Ss+ 19:48 0:00 /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-nU5vBH/database -nolisten tcp vt7

This causes long shutdown times (10 second timeout).
