Fair point.  Is it OOo not playing nice with Gnome?  Can't say, but I 
have tested the same OOo (3.2.) on other DE and WM (KDE, LXDE, Xfce4, 
fluxbox) and can logout just fine. YMMV.

Also fair point.  Perhaps one should expect Gnome to handle calls from 
OOo, even - no, *especially* - if they are buggy?

I really don't know and it would be interesting to see how it is 
resolved.  In the meantime tho' the trick you suggested and that's on 
the site you referenced[1] is a pretty straightforward hack - thanks.
