[Bug 1074758] [NEW] Timely Logouts, Restarts, and Shutdowns with Unity Desktop

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Why does it take so long to logout (or restart or shutdown) from the
Unity desktop?

I have the xfce and lxde desktops installed along with unity:
sudo apt-get install xfce4 lxde

When I logout (restart or shutdown) with those desktops, it happens very
quickly. When I shutdown with LXDE, it is almost as if someone yanked
the battery out of my laptop it is so fast.

So, what is the Unity desktop doing, during logout (restart and
shutdown), that is so time-consuming?

What can we do to make it more immediate (by default) in future updates
and releases?
