Comment 19 for bug 186713

Last night when switching off I thought I'd try killing one job at a time. The first job I tried, which did allow the shutdown to continue, was

/usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute /usr/bin/keytouchd-launch x-session-manager

A quick search finds quite a few bugs that involve seahorse crashing.

So maybe seahorse-agent is the problem. Could others try and see if killing the process involving seahorse-agent and keytouchd is the job that allows the logout/shutdown to continue. To do this, do:

* use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a terminal,
* log in
* $ ps -ef | grep keytouch
* kill XXXX

where XXXX is the process ID (the first number in that line) of the seahorse agent line.
