IOW, Force Quit will bring up a little window showing you whatever
applications you have open, including (presumably) the one that's hanging
and keeping logout from completing.

However, usually when this happens to me I can see an application that's
prompting me to save an open file (such as MS Word). After a minute or so I
get a message telling me Logout has timed out because something has failed
to quit.
