Firefox should either:
a) Shut down and rember it's settings when logging back in
b) Forget it's settings quietly (like xpdf does).

Instead Firefox spawns a warning window that explains that the settings can't be
remembered. You have to click "Ok" in this window before firefox is closed and
logout commences.

When I log out from the computer I leave it. I don't expect messages to pop up
stopping the logout process. I believe most users act like I do. This leaves
computers acessible to passers-by. To my knowledge Hoary does not set
xscreensaver to demand passwords by default (that is one option if this bug
can't be fixed in time).
