This is an issue with the Composite extension. When an application grabs 
the server, nothing gets drawn because the compositing manager is not 
having its requests processed.  The logout dialog is "there", its just 
not drawn, so you can actually push all the invisible buttons and they 
will work. Pressing return will log you out.
