X doesnt shut down. Requires CTRL ALT BACKSPACE to kill it so it can shut down

[Assid]

I cant seem to logout of X. For shutting down, restart, logout, it just hangs. Then I have to explicitly CTRL ALT BACKSPACE to kill X, which then lets logout/restart/shutdown process to continue.

The attachment was broken. Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead.

Do you still have this problem in 8.04 final?

I am experiencing this with 8.04 final. I'll attach my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.

For me, the reason for this was Keytouch. After removing it X shuts down normally.
When Keytouch was still installed (and was causing the problems), logging out caused my .xsession-errors to get filled with the following lines repeating

  PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
 5690 ? S 0:00 keytouchd

I'll attach my xsession-errors for possible clues, in case Keytouch isn't really the guilty one here.

Ok, reassigning to keytouch, thanks.

I had it and solved the problem by editing /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55keytouchd_launch and replacing the line
KEYTOUCHLAUNCH=/usr/bin/keytouchd-launch
by
KEYTOUCHLAUNCH="/usr/bin/keytouchd-launch --exit-with-session"

Editing the line to
KEYTOUCHLAUNCH="/usr/bin/keytouchd-launch --exit-with-session"
only makes Keytouch not to start for me, I tried removing the coute-signs (") but no difference.
