Just noticed something different happens if I wait. I did the log out thing once, and when Unity reappeared I did something else thinking it would stay open anyway. After a few minutes the session logged me off while in the middle of looking for potential solutions to this problem. Not expected but that is another aspect of this same situation.

I have to hit Log Out... twice to accelerate things a bit. But, if I just hit Log Out... once, I have to wait for a really long time before the system logs out. I have tried past workarounds to fix this but no cigar. Nothing I have tried works. This is a fresh install since upgrading from 14.04.4 to 16.04 failed so badly that I could not keep a stable system without a fresh install. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 $ apt-cache policy unity unity: Installed: 7.4.0+16.04.20160715-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 7.4.0+16.04.20160715-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 7.4.0+16.04.20160715-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages Expect that Logging out should be almost instantaneous like previous releases. What is happening instead is that logouts take a very long time. I can click Log Out... and go do something else while waiting. This delays me in leaving my machine for security reasons, and costs man- hours as the time adds up. Luckily, I can work around this by clicking the Log Out... menu item twice but that is a serious annoyance (and possibly a security risk in some environments) in the event that I forget to click the Log Out... menu item twice.
