Marco,

Check your session and make sure you don't have more than one credential
store running in your desktop. That can keep the desktop from shutting
down in a timely manner. I had that issue (XFCE, F16) and turning off
the extra credential store things (that were redundant) fixed the
problem. You really only need the Gnome keyring stuff running, disable
the others if they're running.
