Logout with Gnome

[Gareth Bult]

Hi,

You spelt my name wrong and didn't answer the question ... ;)

However, there are two likely causes, I don't have this problem but I
have seen similar.

a.    There is a program still hanging around that is taking a while to
die (as Schlueri points out)
b.    Part of X has swapped out and wants to unswap before it exits

Check "free" or "top" to see if you are using swap space. See how much
is used before and after you exit Gnome. Also, try logging in and then
out, see if the amount of time you are logged in for effects the time
taken to log out.

HTH

By the way, 256Mb is *really* the absolute minimum you want to be using
for Linux/Fedora - irrespective of what it says on the box. You can
almost survive on 128Mb, however if you actually want to use the machine
and don't want to be buying a new HDD in six months, put at least 512Mb
in a desktop system.

Gareth.
