My MBA won't shutdown! I believe this started with beta 5, but I can't be positive as I so rarely shut it down. I'm trying to update to beta 6, but I can't, because the Mac won't properly restart. Whenever it starts to shutdown the top menu disappears and the dock stays completely accessible. I end up having to force shut down. Something must be hanging in the background but I have no idea what is causing this. Any thoughts?

About an hour ago my Mini Server hung while just surfing these forums. I logged out - rather, tried to log out - and was presented with a black screen with a movable cursor. After several minutes I gave up and manually powered down. Launch Services (launchd) was shown in Console to be the culprit. I hadn't had this issue in any of the previous DP Betas.

I've no other utilities or background apps running, just a stock install. Also, I'm not logged into any of Apple's services (iCloud, etc.) and I'm not using any sync services; my "crash/hang" was in a Standard User Account.
