I'am "loginning off" and the the next window is asking me to :
End Current Session :
Suspend Computer :
Turn Off Computer:
Restart Computer:

I click on End Current Session.
If i click on Turn Off Computer or Restart computer the then it goes 
down, in normal operating procedure.
It's just that "End Current Session" does not take you back to the 
Username, Password , Login   window,
It drops you to Runlevel 3 .
