Re: GNOME not shutting down properly
Also, if you get hung, try using the control-alt-backspace key combination. This will kill your X server and drop you to a command prompt. It's easier than rebooting the machine.

Re: GNOME not shutting down properly
JAlt+F2 to turn to shell, and run ps-aux to see among the last lines what process is still on...

Re: GNOME not shutting down properly
ctrl+alt+f1 in redhat will give you the console. use 'top' and see where the process stands.

Re: GNOME not shutting down properly
Thanks for all your feedback. I got some info on where to check on problem. Last time when I treid the system worked perfectly and didnt hang. Really dont know why. But the log file .xsession-errors has a few lines saying, the xscreensaver could not lauch because I was logged in as root. Could this have caused the problem. I will use your other suggestion of key combinations, if i come across this error again. Thanks once again

Re: GNOME not shutting down properly
XScreensaver is disabled for root since there is every possibility for a trojan horse coming in ur way and the worst nightmare will be running them as root.
