I am having the same problems on intel.
after trying gnome-core-1.0.9-test.rpm  gnome-lib-1.0.2-test.rpm  
enlightenment-0.15.5-36 gnome-print-0.4-5.i386.rpm (which failed to
install) and maybe a couple of other things I'm trying to remember. I
went about 4 days before trying to log out.

I have backed out of the *test* stuff but that has not fixed the log out
problem I'll back down enlightenment next.

something I up graded to has caused this. It would be nice to know what.
I will down grade one file at a time until it is cured or someone points
out the oops.
