LONG delay after hitting System > Quit button

[Tom Wolfe]

Hi JIm,

Thanks for the tip... I followed your advice but I am still getting these 
long delays.

It even happened to one of my local users the other day. The problem 
cleared itself when I deleted that user's profile directory & it was 
rebuilt using the defaults on login.

This might be a clue but I have no idea what's going on still, and users 
have to log off with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE if they don't feel like waiting up 
to two minutes for the Quit dialogue to come up.

Any other ideas out there??

Regards,
Tom Wolfe
