machine had shutdown. That is, the process that's supposed to kill all
the other processes got killed. At least that's how I interpret the
following log:

Leaving me with a blank desktop and a mouse, but nothing else, which is
mostly the effect I saw yesterday. The power button is set up to shut
down, so that's how I can ultimately shut down.
I'll look for filed bugs and file one myself if I don't see any.

I haven't tried going from runlevel 5 to runlevel 3 myself, but if you
see similar stuff in your logs about rc3 (probably) killing itself off,

show something different, it still is the same bug and the info will
help narrow down exactly where things go wrong.
