I have a similar problem.

When I click on the XFCE menu | Log Out | Shutdown the computer stalls for 
about one minute before XFCE shuts down.

"top" doesn't show any memory or CPU hogs. 

If I try to shut down XCFE again, I get the message:

"Failed to receive a reply from the session manager
Session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown"

Any ideas?
