Hmm, my father's computer does this (hard lock on GNOME logout) in FC2.
He can shut down or reboot, and X exits fine; he just can't log out (so
he has to reboot if he wants to log out and back in for some reason). I
haven't had a change to diagnose it (and I definately didn't think about
the kernel).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

I don't see this behaviour on any of my Athlon machines running via
chipset motherboards. I do see it at work on a Dell Dimension 4550.
My solution at work has been to use the SMP kernel. I worked on this
by hand and found that the problem didn't happen if I had APIC enabled
in the kernel. Not sure if this is the same problem, but it is
definitely the same symptom.
