Comment 2 for bug 388121

Did it really happened to you? I don't believe it. Since Intrepid or maybe even Hardy there is a dialog saying "A program prevents from logging out. What do you want to do? Log out anyway, Cancel..." or similar. Doesn't that work?

[ADDED]

I tried logging out with unsaved text in gedit. It WORKS: gedit asked if it should close without saving, cancel logging out or save; after ~1 second the dialog I mentioned about above appeared.
