Comment 3 for bug 549681

I have a related problem, where indicator-applet-session is not accessible anymore and displays the date, which I think is a duplicate (image) of the applet next to it. Clicking on it does not do anything. I will take a screenshot next time I hit this.

Since i-a-s removes the logout and shutdown entries from the system menu (which I dislike very much BTW, at least provide a pref for this behavior), my only option is to logout from the command prompt with gnome-session-save.
