Bug Description

Clicking Log Out on the computer sometimes doesn't bring up the log-out window.

1. Click the "Computer" meny
2. Click "Log Out"

A Log Out window should open.

Sometimes it doesn't. At one occasion the logout window popped up several
minutes after the request. I can _not_ reproduce this on all occasions. It seems
to happen more often when you have logged out once and log in again.

Build: Warty Warhog 4.10, updated 2004-09-19.

If you need more info please advise on how to capture output from the process.

I don't have this problem on my boxes and that's the first report about it. I've
no real idea on how to debug this for the moment, but I'll try to make some
search on this.

More info: The first time every session that I click Log Out there is a delay
och about two minutes before the Log Out window appears. The window always
appears. If I select cancel and try again the window will pop out immidiatly as
it should.

This behaviour does no longer appear after I (re)moved my ~/.gnome2/session file
(see bug 8239). The bug first appeared after Gnome Meeting had segfaulted on me
(I pointed it at a nonexistant input device), too bad I didn't remeber that when
I first wrote this bug.

Thank you, again, for your time!

I am confirming this, I have noticed this on multiple computers but cannot figure out its logic / occurences
