Public bug reported:

[Hardy]

When logging out while there are open apps with unsaved data, a dialog
should appear with options to save, not save, or cancel logout. This
generally works correctly, but the following case always fails for me:

1. In gedit, write some text in a new, unsaved document.
2. IMPORTANT: switch so another app is above gedit, i.e., gedit is not topmost.
3. Start a logout.

What happens every time is that
1. gedit flashes in the window list on the panel. That is, it brings attention 
to itself.
2. However, one cannot click on the panel to get there.

Thus, the logout process is paused, but the user can't see why except
that something is up with gedit. For a casual user the computer is
essentially 'stuck'.

What *does* work is to Alt-Tab to get to gedit. This reveals that indeed
the logout options dialog was presented. It was just hidden, and
inaccessible via mouse operations.
