Re: [K12OSN] two minute hang on Gnome logout

[Patrick Healy <phealy surf dsusd k12 ca us>]

the dns stuff was fine -- turned out rhn-applet was the culprit.

it wasn't working behind our firewall and would wait to time out before
logging out of Gnome.

`yum remove rhn-applet`

took care of the problem.

renaming the other sessions to *.disabled in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions 
didn't work either -- don't know how it's working -- there isn't even an
entry for KDE in that directory, but it still shows up as a choice for
login.

Also, if all I do is log in, and then logout immediately, there is no delay, even with Gnome.  This occurs with both a legacy user and a new one created on this server.  It occurs on either console, thin-client, or vnc-client.
