I use ps ax to see the running processes. Sometimes I see apps obviously related to gnome still running after I exit X. I have no idea why, but if I plan to restart X I kill those processes first. In your case I would do "ps ax > pre" after a reboot, and then after logging out of X do "ps ax > post", and then compare 'pre' to 'post' to see what has changed.
