Frequently when I used the graphical shutdown from gnome I would see XF86 shut off, BUT I would not then see the system drop to runlevel 3! It would merely hang with a grey screen. Ctrl-alt-del, Ctrl-alt-bs did not work, it was a complete X hang. I had a Diamond Stealth III (Savage4) video card and suspected that as the culprit. So, I upgraded to XF864.1.9, I also applied all the updates from RH and now my shutdown problem is gone. (I still have a X hang with particular screensavers however). Summary: I don't know whether it was the updates to kernel stuff or the X upgrade but you may want to try both (especially if you have a Savage4 based video card!) Best wishes, Oisin
