This appears to be associated with the gnome-session manager.
System|Preferences|Sessions "Ask on logout" seems to be the bit that
controls asking the options questions. If un-ticked your session will
close without asking anything.

In Configuration Editor (gconf-editor 2.14.0), I find that the key is:
/apps/gnome-session/options/logout_option

Perhaps that will give you someplace to look.

I've had this happen in the past, can't remember exactly how I fixed it
but may have just reinstalled gnome-session.
