From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: When I log in to a gnome session in X and start an instance of gnome-terminal, and then log out of X with gnome-terminal still running, selecting "Save settings" checkbox in the logout dialog box, the user will appear to still be logged in. The login session for a user, say user 'bar', appears like this in the output of who: bar pts/6 Oct 9 18:03 (:0.0) even though the user should be logged out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to a gnome X session 2. Open an instance of gnome-terminal 3. Click "Log Out" from the foot menu. 4. Make sure "Save current settings" checkbox is selected 5. Click "OK" to log out Actual Results: The output of 'who' still shows the user as logged in. Expected Results: The user should not still be logged in. Additional info: One instance of the user will show up in the output of 'who' for every gnome-terminal tab page open when gnome-session ends. This occurs even with the default setting of "Run command as a login shell" de-selected. Attempting to run userdel on the user returns a message "user [username] is currently logged in". There are no processes running under that user. The only way to get rid of the login is to reboot the computer.
Same behaviour for user 'root' as for everyone else, in case it matters.
