I run FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE on my 256M ThinkPad T21, and have installed
XFree86-4.3.0,1 from packages, along with the Gnome desktop, package
gnome2-2.2.0.  

My laptop locks up upon termination of the X session.  When I select
Log Out from the Actions menu, the screen goes to what appears to be
a completely blank text-mode screen, but nothing further happens.  I
do not get back to a text console, and neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace nor
Ctrl-Alt-Delete have any effect.  My only recourse is to hold the
power button for six seconds and power the laptop down, and endure 
the concomitant fsck on boot-up.

I used to tolerate this, but on a recent fsck I had some extensive
file system damage, and am re-installing my laptop this weekend, so
I'ld like to root this out.

How can I tweak my X setup to get it to exit cleanly?

My XF86Config is below, stripped of comments for brevity.  In .xinitrc 
I have just

exec gnome-session


Clues and suggestions appreciated.


Thanks,

Jim
