Public bug reported: This could seem similar to bug #250506, but I suspect it's actually different, since in that only shutdown and restart didn't work, and here instead it's impossible to logout.
On Ubuntu (kubuntu) Lucid Lynx 10.04.1 LTS amd64 (installed from scratch, and kept updated), the "Logout", "Restart" and "Shudown" buttons from the "Leave" menu don't produce any visible effect. The confirmation dialog doesn't appear and the logout/reboot/shutdown doesn't happen. I've tried to disable notification sounds, disabling also the logout notification sound, and all possible combinations with no results. I've also tried to disable the confirmation dialog in the system preferences, but the system doesn't logout (or restart/shutdown). I've tried to use the shutdown applet from the task bar, but even that does nothing. Disabling/enabling compiz (with Alt+Shift+F12) doesn't change anything. (For a short period of time, after the installation, everything worked fine, then for no apparent reason the menu buttons stopped working.) The only way I can shutdown/restart is through the command line. I've tried without success to save the session before rebooting from the command line, using: $ dbus-send --dest=org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession $ sudo shutdown -r now but at the subsequent boot the ancient session from the last time "Restart" worked is restored. For the record, I'm using a hand-written /etc/X11/xorg.conf (since I'm using three monitors on two cards), but I don't think this can be related, since also the last times it worked I had the same setup. Please let me know if I can provide further details.
