I think this is a bug (Don't know whether with Gnome/Emacs ? ). The
desktop treats the daemon as a regular program which it should not. I
have a hunch Emacs maybe at fault because similar problems happen
across various desktops (Gnome/KDE/XFCE). For example with XFCE if I
start the `emacs --daemon' in a particular session, logging out from
that session takes ages. Subsequent login or logouts are normal
however. For now I have resorted to using `M-x kill-emacs' just as
Sven mentioned in another reply.
