While running gnome-session 2.24 under Ubuntu Intrepid beta, I noticed that some applications aren't being shut down when ending the session. Notable examples are Firefox, gnome-terminal and OpenOffice but a number of the programs normally started by the session also seem to be affected. I tried recompiling the Ubuntu package and deactivating all patches except those affecting the build system, but the problem didn't go away.

I'm attaching a log file that I obtained by running gnome-session with the --debug flag. It looks to me that gnome-session believes that all programs terminated normally and terminates itself. The programs, however, are still running and die only because their connection to the X server gets broken. The messages at the end of the log show this. I'm rating this bug as major since it can potentially cause user data loss.
