Sometimes I have to select logout/shut down twice before it has effect

[Ernst Persson]

Sometimes I have to select logout/shut down twice before it has effect.
I can wait a long time after the first try but nothing happens. On the second try I log out immediately.
It doesn't happen all the time.

Any tips what I could debug, check logs from, to solve this?

This is not a recent regression, I had this problem in Oneiric also, but probably not before that.

I have the same behavior with the 12.04 (never with 11.10 before upgrading)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The same thing happens to me... I have ubuntu 12.04 x64.

Happens on Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 now as well since about a week.

By now I kinda have the feeling that it's the fault of some program. Because when clicking shutdown, a few programs are closed, while other's stay open. Only after the second shutdown, all close. So one program is apparently not responding to the signal the first time.
