I will try that, anyway I think the OS should grant the developer to manage
the logout at his wish. For example, I return NSTerminateLater, then I
launch my task in a thread and, at then end of the task I call
replyToApplicationShouldTerminate:YES
Easy. I understand the developer could even "forget" to call
replyToApplicationShouldTerminate but there are so many other bad and worse
things he can do actually, so why don't give him the freedom to make this
mistake too? Mistery.

Besides from the fact I didn't care about the aborted logout, I was wrong
anyway due to bad memory :(
But you can bring up an application modal window after detaching the
secondary thread in applicationShouldTerminate, giving the user options like
cancelling, showing a progress indicator etc..
Repeatedly call runModalSession until the task is finished or the user
cancelled.
This worked fine for me in a similar situation.
I guess a logout will time out anyway if the task takes too long.
Cheers,
Peter
