Ok. I created an error report at bugzilla.
As I am not currently using GDM (the packed version is not manageable
enough... I couldn't find a way to disable the -nolisten in the X
server) but your observations about processes kept running while system
tries to unmount fs are true.

I regard this bug as severe but I got a little frustrated: either few
people uses "old fashioned" encrypted file systems or it is something
wrong the way I configured things...
