I can not reproduce this on Ubuntu Dapper.  But sometimes the session
manager hangs, and just moving the mouse will continue the logout.  Have
you tried that (i.e. move the mouse instead of deiconify Emacs)?  Can
you try KDE and see if you have the same problem?

What are your settings for sessions in Gnome, i.e. save at logout, ask
at logout and so on?
