[Bug 1706939] Re: A live session can't be shut down due to "[ *** ] (2 of 2) A start job is running for ... (21s / no limit)"

[Doug McMahon]

Here the message continues to appear and the shut down or reboot is
interrupted. The notable difference now  is that it does time out after
15 seconds or so and the intended action proceeds.
