[gentoo-user] Gnome doesn't shutdown

Hello,
I noticed that Gnome doesn't shutdown anymore. When I press
System/Shutdown and I confirm in the prompt, the desktop is cleared
but the wallpaper is still visible and the machine doesn't shutdown.

This behavior appeared after an update; I waited for another update,
but the problem still persists. I wonder if I make an error during the
update or it is a bug affecting the last releases of the desktop
manager.

I run the version of gnome 2.26.3

Thanks in advance,
Manuel Fiorelli

I recently had a problem where the evolution data server didn't die
I had to do evolution --force-shutdown

I don't have that problem now, but you could give it a try.
