That tells us it is in your normal users settings and not a system-wide
issue. Narrows it down quite a bit.

Are you in runlevel 4? and running gdm? Just curious.
You should have a logout also "panel-menu->Desktop->Logout"
I am assuming not having a "Logout" is only a problem with
the same particular user and not system-wide. 
You could check that by running gnome as the new user you created.
