Description of problem: I'm unable to shutdown X when running gnome. The mouse freezes during shutdown and all I can see is a single colored screen with the mouse. I tried with blackbox and it works ok (shutdown works ok and I'm back in the console) so I'm not sure if this is an xorg problem or a gnome problem. After the freeze I can ssh to the machine as usuall. I checked the process list and it looks like all gnome related processes including the X server have already exited. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.16.0-7.fc6 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.1.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-sis-0.9.1-7 How reproducible: Always. Happens whenever I shutdown gnome. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run startx with gnome as the window manager. 2. Log off via the menu or ctrl+alt+backspace. Actual results: Freeze. Expected results: Get back to the console.

is it that gdm isn't coming back up? does pkill gdm or gdm-restart help?
No gdm. My machine starts in runlevel 3 and I start xorg using 'startx'.
