Sometimes a standard logout, reboot, or shutdown does works. Other times it
just hangs in GNOME and never performs the requested commanded. It hangs about
half the time when I try to "logout". After I have asked it to logout it will
just hang in the GNOME window manager and not allow me to do anything. It never
exits the GUI. When this happens I usually wait several minutes then I exit X
using alt + ctrl + backspace. When I do this command it does one of two things.
 It either goes to perform the requested command or it brings me to a terminal
prompt. Of particular note regarding this bug is that it seems to happen when
my computer has been on all day. At the request of Daniel Holbach I restarted
my computer this morning and sure enough it didn't hang. But I will run Mr.
Holbach's commands next time it hangs and report back.
