In the Finder, under the Apple menu, when I select "Restart", the

I'm running OS 10.4.8.

I rarely reboot, but I've noticed that logging out _can_ take several
seconds even on a relatively fast machine. How long have you let it sit
before deciding it needs a nudge? And if it's more than 10 seconds or
so, have you checked the logs to see if there are an messages? Have you
experimented with different sets of programs running to see if it might
be one thing you use a lot that is canceling the logout?
