Hi,
I don't think this is a gnome bug.
Gnome doesn't force any application to quit, it just sends a "TERM"
signal (kill $PID), which is a nice kill.
After 5 seconds if an application is still running, it displays a window
: "following applications are still running", with 3 choices, "quit
anyway", "lock screen", or "cancel".
If you choose "quit anyway", it sends a "KILL" signal : kill -9 $PID.

I think amarok should catch the TERM signal and quit properly, but i am
not a developper and dont know if this is possible?
