logout times

[Michal Jaegermann]

After recent updates a logout session times from gnome-session,
which for a while had an unfortunate tendency to grow, reached
ridiculous values.  I was even convinced that "Logout" does not
work anymore but found that I was mistaken.  You only have to wait
around two minutes before it will happen (checked with a wall-clock
time).

It is even funnier when this happens if you do "Logout" and let this
"60 second alert" to timeout. You have a countdown, it gets to zero,
alert vanishes, and nothing happens for a long while.  Everything
actually seems to operational.  And suddenly there is a surprise
event and logout is really done.

This is way past "laughing test" and a behaviour is  consistent
across various accounts on my test machine.  Is this just me or
this is more widespread?  Anybody has an idea what is going on
and where to look for reasons?

I think this is quite possibly due to a change in the 'eggcups' program.
What does 'rpm -q gnome-session desktop-printing' say?

I have experienced this too and posted to the list. One other person
responded that he saw the issue too. Search for a posting with "slow
logout" in the subject. There is a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229914

Thanks.  This talks about delays of an order of four, or at least
some small, seconds.  Such values were surpassed a long time ago.
I would not likely even pay attention with these. :-)  Maybe I
should?  We are talking about minutes now.

I do no think that this is a CPU issue.  My test box if far from the
fastest in the world but this is a reasonably spiffy x86_64.  Low
clocked Z80 should likely be able to handle all what was left to
handle with a time to spare.

I will have to check an information about eggcups Tim was asking
about a bit later.  If there are some processes which are waiting
for something would not be possible to leave them in a background
and proceed with a logout?

Michal,

This bug (which is all it is) was in fact fixed last week but due to the
freeze the packages are not yet showing up.

Thanks, Tim!  In any case 'rpm -q gnome-session desktop-printing'
gives me now:
gnome-session-2.18.0-1.fc7
desktop-printing-0.20-4.fc7
