Public bug reported:

Often when I trying to logout from Xubuntu/XFCE (12.04) (using the GUI
logout dialog) just nothing happens at first. If I then try to log out
once more, I get an error message saying

"Failed to log out. Session manager must be in idle state when
requesting a shutdown."

After waiting some 10 seconds or so, I will eventually be logged out.
Since XFWM is not started on the next boot/login, I first thought the
bug might me somewhere in XFWM, but actually it happens _as well_ when
using KWin as window manager. Funnily enough, however, KWin is restarted
on restart/re-login.

This bug is somehow described in #978333
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/978333) as well,
but there the authors focus on XFWM not restarting. In contrast, I'm
more concerned with the logout being delayed quite some time.

Note: This behavior was already present in the previous release (11.10).
