Hi Alan
I've seen this a few times on both the machines one running wheezy/sid,
probably more SID and the laptop running FC16
I think this is a result of some cumulative process, what does make it worse is
powering down a machine is suspend mode. Hence the reason I asked recently
about suspend/shutdown.
I suspect what your seeing is a prelude to getting the same message but not
being able to login.
As this is on 2 flavours of linux it looks like the finger of blame points at
gnome, unless of course someone knows differently.
