It appears to be related to the session-management code.  If I enable it,
logout appears to work properly.  That is, in my XTerm app-defaults file,
adding this line:

*sessionMgt:	true

I hadn't noticed this before, since I generally close all of my windows
before logging out (and tend to reboot anyway).  Closing the windows is
needed since gnome gets easily confused about the windows from a previous
login...
