Bug Description

How to reproduce:

1) Open a Terminal window.
2) Type a command without pressing Enter.
3) Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the Logout confirmation dialog.
4) Press Enter to confirm logout.

Desired result: You are logged out from the session.
Actual result: The command you had waiting in the Terminal window is executed. To log out you need to use the mouse to click the Log Out button, since there is no way to reach the dialog using the keyboard as it does not show up using ALT+TAB.

I noticed this as well, on unity-2d. I.e., it also affects metacity.

(Thanks for the writeup, Per. I was struggling to work out when it was happening).

Seems fixed in 13.04. (Maybe because of the new logout dialog though :)
