The only common element that jumps out at me is that all the machines have wireless interfaces. A source of trouble with linux if ever there was one, however I have just been bitten by this bug for the first time now,make that twice. This box doesn't have wireless so there goes that idea. Its the xserver i'm guessing, it hangs when I logout from ssh too but only if I use an app like gthumb or firefox. If I only run emacs then no problems it just logs right out. Reminds me to follow up on the other thread since FF works now. Anyone know what emacs does different from a graphical presentation standpoint than say FF or gThumb?It would seem that it does something the others do not when it closes its  window. Since this isn't a problem from the console or shutting down from gdm, I would guess Xserver issue but I don't recall if anyone mentioned their desktop enviro or not, is this affecting KDE and XFCE as well? Anyway its just a guess since I could fit what I know about thr xserver on a business card in large fonts :^)
