    No it's not a logout , if the user is already logged in and he restart/shut-down no problem but while trying to restart from the GDM menu the problem appear and this is a serious problem have a look to this thread FS#8125 : GDM doesnt shutdown properly

    also i saw the same problem in ubuntu 7.10 ( i mean GDM 2.20 ) , i have the problem in my own compiled gnome 2.20 under slackware but well noboday cares , so this has to be confirmed if it's a bug or it's a incomplete shutting down scripts !!!
