[Klug-general] Fedora 8

[Mike Evans]

Spode,

Thanks for the thought. I tried that though - or at least typing "sudo 
shutdown now", which is similar except that I think it probably takes me 
to runlevel 0 via runlevel 6.  Apologies for not mentioning this in my 
previous post - but that always works.  What's more, the hang can happen 
when just doing a logout or switch user from the desktop.  This makes me 
think it is much earlier on in the process.

I really need to get inside whatever script the logout icon on the 
desktop is doing and put some debug lines in that - or at least look 
through it to see what it's up to and try the components separately.

Anyone have any ideas on how I find out what the logout/shutdown dialog 
runs on either Fedora 8 or Ubuntu 7.10 as they both seem to have this 
'hang on desktop logout' problem on my laptop?  It's not every time so I 
guess it's some sort of timing problem.  Fedora 6 doesn't have the problem.

Mike
