Ubuntu and Xubuntu (Edgy Knot3) end sessions with a black screen

Bug Description

Every time I close a graphical session (and select any logout option), the screen becomes black and suddenly shutdown or reboot.

This problem is more dramatic if we use only the liveCD, because after we selected Shutdown or Reboot, computer must umount the cdrom ONLY if users press ENTER, but no message appear.

Mostly Yes. Sometimes "Closing splash screen" appears but usually not. I can't find any rule in this behavior.

I think that I've also seen this problem in the past. Because this bug did not have answers after some months and that it's probably already fixed, I set the status to invalid but if you can still reproduce this problem with upcoming Hardy release, please set back the status of the bug report to confirmed and/or let a comment here about it, It would be very appreciated. Thanks for your contribution!
