This caught me a few times also. There are actually a few reasons why this
can occur. The main reason is when an application doesn't respond to
Gnome's "I'm shutting down now" message. Usually this is because that
application has hung (netscape was always the main culprit for me).
Sometimes, waiting a while will actually do the job. Sometimes (don't ask
me why) clicking on the desktop triggers shutdown.
Most times, if Gnome freezes when you click logout, type "save-session
--kill" in an xterm, and that'll fix it.

I must say however, that when I upgraded to core 1.0.6 and libs 1.0.10,
this problem went away. I have only had one delay since upgrading, and
this time, a little box popped up telling me that Netscape wasn't
resonding, and would I like to terminate it? Very cool. A good reason to
upgrade if you ask me.

I can never get over how quickly gnome developers implement stuff.
