Sorry, no tips here, just chiming in that it's occurring for me, too,
on *Sid*. Just on Application Menu > Log Out > Log Out. NOT on Restart
or Shut Down.
Have NOT tried the other two (Suspend and Hibernate). Will *TRY* to
remember to do so later this afternoon but am having to (successfully)
shut down to move outside this second. :)
Unfortunately just hadn't pulled it together to nose around to see
what might help fix it, primarily because I haven't needed log out
until just coincidentally yesterday.. SOME of it happening early on
for me turned out to be *potentially* about pertinent hidden files not
existing under my user's home directory...
Sorry, wish I had more in the way of a resolution but figured it
wouldn't hurt to commiserate to show it's not just you.. :)

PS Just for kicks but not sure that it lends any insight here, uname -a:
Linux northpole 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt4-3
(2015-02-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Will be doing another debootstrap in next couple days. Mostly just to
make sure that method continues to be successful for users. Going that
route becomes a logical step on this end when Sid experiences an
active upgrade week. Some 75 packages needed upgraded anyway a few
days ago, and that count has surely grown in the 2 or 3 days since..
