Leopard shutdown problem

[soimulPatriei]

Hi all,
I have a annoying shutdown problem with my Leopard (10.5.3). Many times it does not shutdown. It issues strange message to the effect that certain applications cannot be closed. After I manually close the applications the OS exists Finder and hangs. I am forced to shutdown the system pressing the button.Next are the Console system log (for the last time when the thing happened)

Hope you can tell me how to solve the problem.
Thanks!

I'm having this same issue. I'm currently trying to upgrade from 10.5.3 to the new version which I believe is 10.5.7 but am unable to due to this shut down problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Below is my console output after repeated attempts at shutting down using the logout and/or restart menu items.

Hi,
Actually I solved the problem using the shutdown command from the command line.
1. Open a terminal
2. input the command shutdown - h now. It will shutdown the system at the current time.

I think the problem is related with the GUI (I hope in the future Apple will solve it). Till then , I will use the solution presented above, cause it works at least for me.
