Firstly, are you starting Gnome with something like 'exec gnome-session' as the last thing in your .xsession (or .xinitrc if you're starting X by hand)?
If so, then when you 'log out', Enlightenment is quitting, but not Gnome, so your X session is still alive (just without a window manager). This probably means that something is pretty wrong with Gnome, and it's not being told that E wants your X session to end (since gnome-session is in control, not E).
If you have a .gnome directory in your home dir, remove or rename that and try again. It may be you have some stale configs messing things up. Otherwise, something is probably pretty wrong with your Gnome install...
