"your session has been saved" when trying to logout

Bug Description

The PC is an up to date Breezy install. The problem does not happen with my
account, but does happen with my girlfriend's account.

When she tries to logout (System->Logout), a dialog box comes up saying "Your
session has been saved". When you click "OK" on that dialog box, it just puts
you straight back to the desktop, and does not actually logout. If you then try
and logout a second time, it works (i.e. it logs out, does not pop up a message
box).

This happens when you choose shutdown or reboot instead of logout, but does not
happen if you choose hibernate.

Thanks for your bug.

What does a "gdmflexiserver -a -c QUERY_LOGOUT_ACTION" say for your girlfriend?

Sebastien,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have found out something more about this. There
is a program in universe called apollon. This bug only occurs when apollon is
running.

Whether or not apollon is running, the output of "gdmflexiserver -a -c
QUERY_LOGOUT_ACTION" is "OK HALT;REBOOT;HIBERNATE".

Sorry for such a late reply, I never got the bugmail with this question.

The machine where this bug happens is x86.

Confirmed, that happens sometime with apollon installed. Setting low priority since few people probably runs it with their GNOME session

I don't have apollon installed and it happens to me every time when I log off.
