Re: [TCLUG:6787] Gnome doesn't logout.

Here's what I found on the Gnome mailing list archive (this may or may not 
be the problem you're having):
NOTE:  I think I've had this problem, though extremely sporadically, even 
after upgrading to Gnome-Core-1.0.6 but I could be mistaken.  I haven't 
tried deleting the .ICEauthority yet.

     Deleting .ICEauthority worked for me, thanks!
