Cannot logout in Unity

When I logout, I can change accounts, but the account I have logged out remains logged in after changing to another account. Both accounts are then logged in, the check-mark appears next to both in the drop-down menu at the upper right of the screen.



I can force a logout with pkill. I have also found that logging in and then out of a guest session will logout all users - strange!



My question: what is wrong, and how do I fix it?
Thanks!



Edit: Perhaps I should add that I am using Ubuntu 14.04, and that logging out worked fine until yesterday.
Additionally, I had a window manager issue (no menu bars) which I fixed with setsid unity. Afterwards, the logout problem started.
