hmm, i have one observation.

during rc.shutdown there're messages on console like this: Cannot stat file /proc/$pid/fd/1: Connection timed out
afaics this file descriptor points to vnc log file on a remote machine, e.g.:

# ps aux|grep xfwm4
eda       1748  0.0  0.0 320220 11224 ?        S    13:08   0:00 xfwm4 

# readlink -m /proc/1748/fd/1
/remote/dragon/ahome/eda/.vnc/odra:11.log

# mount|grep ahome
dragon:/home/users/ on /remote/dragon/ahome type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=262144,wsize=262144,namlen=255,soft,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.0.2.121,mountvers=3,mountport=45251,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=10.0.2.121)


so, probably during `killall5 -TERM/-KILL` on shutdown stage something sometimes go wrong
and these processes (xfce4/vncserver) survive the signal and hang on the nfs i/o.

BR,
Paweł.
