sddm: logout doesn't seem to work?

I'm posting this to the forum before filing a bug report just to make sure I'm not missing something.

I installed Mate + sddm; specifically

# pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl mate mate-extra sddm

It mostly works well, but I can't get System --> Logout to work properly.  The Mate window manager stuff disappears, but whatever applications are running (e.g. firefox) are left hanging.

# Ctrl-Alt-F2
# systemctl restart sddm

brings back the login screen, but this is a bit inconvenient.  I'm pretty sure this is an sddm bug; e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1407152

but might be missing something obvious.  System package versions below:

[pgoetz@erap-nyc ~]$ pacman -Q sddm
sddm 0.11.0-1
[pgoetz@erap-nyc ~]$ pacman -Q mate-desktop
mate-desktop 1.10.0-1

User switching is broken as well, but at least it doesn't hang; you just come back to the previously active user environment.
