    Hi Angelo,
    No, I have not seen anything like this. In fact, I just checked and
    with updatedb banging on the disk, it only took very little time
    (almost no delay) to bring up the logout window in Gnome for me
    (though it took a considerably longer time for the menu to actually
    pop up to click on logout :)). I'm running 766_FC3 on x86_64 as well.
    You can also bring up this dialog with the command:
    gnome-session-save --kill
    You might try doing an strace on this to see if you can find where it
    is hanging:
    strace gnome-session-save --kill
    This should scroll by a lot of stuff. Take note of any places that it
    hangs. For me, stuff scrolls by until the dialog comes up. You can
    then run it again and direct the output to a file:
    strace gnome-session-save --kill 2> logout.txt
    which will put everything in logout.txt so you can post info to the
    list or see more of what is going on, just remember where you noticed
    it hang before. In another terminal, you can also run "tail -f
    logout.txt" to see what is being printed to the file so you could
    perhaps run it only once. If nothing looks obvious, send more info to
    the list.
