Bug Description
This bug covers two issues: documentation of a changed feature, and the change itself.
SUMMARY: No way to control logout confirmation or delays!
Documentation still claims that this is possible:
The "Sessions Preferences" dialog is missing from the System->Preferences menu.
NOTE: The Sessions Preferences dialog is documented under System->Help and Support. I can't tell you how to directly bring up that documentation (the Search feature produces generally unhelpful results...)
But the following sequence finds the documentation on my system:
System->Help and Support
Click "Customizing Your Computer" in the Topics column on the left.
Click "4. Customising other aspects of the desktop"
Click "Configuring Your Desktop" in topic list on the right
Click "8.5.2 Sessions Preferences"
Control-F and search for "confirmation dialog" on the page
There is no "Sessions" dialog under System-
There is a preferences dialog called "Startup Applications" but it does not contain
the "Session Options" listed in table 8-17 except for "Automatically save changes".
Note: In ubuntu 9.04 you could disable logout confirmation (and the time delay) in a Preferenced panel reached by right-clicking the logout/reboot thingie on the right end of the panel. But in 9.10 there is no Preferences offered there.

There is no change there between jaunty and karmic, maybe you did install some extra software?
