I see this now, thanks for the clarification. I don't have to deiconfy
Emacs for the logout to continue, I just need to give focus to some
window, for example a gnome-terminal window. I beleive it is a bug in
the Gnome version delivered with Ubuntu. This error does not happen
with Fedora Core 5. I will debug this a bit further when I have more time.
