But "unregistering" anything implies that it is _shutting down_. After
which one would more or less expect it to "hang" (i.e., stop). So there
is nothing wrong!

All working fine!

Ditto.

Well, it looks like you issued a shutdown. What is "gconfd"?

Yes - here is the SHUTDOWN.

So what is the problem? It looks like you were running fine, then you
logged in as root (DON'T DO THAT!) and issued a shutdown.

The naive onlooker would suppose that you signalled shutdown.

How about giving us more relevant data? I would like to know

  1) WHY ON EARTH you are logging in as root - don't do that, please.
  2) WHEN you logged in as root - the log does not show it (I see only
     cron entries for root).
  3) WHY you are running gpm .. it loks to me as though you started maybe
     X ($deity forbid!) as root, and are running the mouse through a
     gpm reflector. Anyway, you ran it. No argument.
  4) WHY 5s after that, smebody issued a shutdown.

Either you did it, or somebody else did it, by hacking your root login
scripts. Whatever - don't log in as root. Nasty habit! Should go.
