Title:
  Shutdown SIGKILLs processes

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I use the indicator-applet-session to shutdown Gnome, any
  applications that are still running appear to be SIGKILL'd.
  Consequently when I next start a session various applications (eg,
  Google Chrome, Firefox) complain that they were not shutdown properly.

  Wouldn't it be cleaner to send a SIGTERM to running processes to give
  them a chance to exit gracefully? If after a short period they're
  still running, then a SIGKILL can be sent.

  I realise this can be solved by manually closing each open
  application. Do I have to shut them all down manually to get clean
  exits from them?

  I'm using Karmic Koala.
