I think this is mis-file (by me). "System->Quit..." and the "Quit..." panel applet don't do anything either. Which package do those belong to?

They're part of gnome-session.

Are you still having this problem? If so, do you get any errors in the terminal upon typing "gnome-session-save --kill"?

I've long since upgraded to feisty and don't have this problem any more.
