That's what I meant by freeze. Gnome rarely ceases to respond
altogether. I meant the failure to log out. Sorry. But save-session --kill
will close gnome in this eventuality. Doing a shutdown from gnome kills it
without giving it a chance to save settings, which isn't a polite thing to
do. Try save-session --kill, you won't risk corrupting gnome by shutting
down abrubtly.

The best place I've come across. If you want bleeding edge though, you
either install from tarball or delve into CVS. Core's now up to 1.0.6, but
I'm sure it'll be up there in rpm format pretty soon if you're patient.
