I am the maintainer of pam_mount, a PAM module that allows one to mount
remote volumes at login time. Pam_mount also trys to unmount these
volumes when a user logs out.
Gdm calls pam_close_session before resetting the system's X server.
As a result, X programs like xscreensaver are still running when
pam_close_session is called. Because of this, open file descriptor can
cause the unmounting of a user's remotely mounted home directory to fail.
I would like to see gdm call pam_close_session /after/ resetting the
X server. I entered a bug report in GNOME's bugzilla (# 126071) about
gdm's use of pam_close_session. I also submitted a very simple patch
to bugzilla that fixes the problem.
