Find out what it is.  I have no idea, maybe something to do with the panel
or an applet (find out what package it's in (rpm -q), look for a man page
(man -k), run it with --help, etc etc etc).

Logout state is kept in ~user/.gnome/session

That's an application that does not understand WM extensions querying it's
state.  The WM is waiting for for a reply.  Eventually it should give up
and just kill it.  If not, switch to a virtual console and find out what
it's up to.

Cheers, Rex
