Bug Description
Choose "Log Out" on any Launchpad page.
What happens:
------------
You have been logged out
You are now logged out of the Launchpad Login Service website. However, you have not been automatically logged out of every website that uses this website.
Log back in to Launchpad Login Service
© 2004-2011 Canonical Ltd. • Get the code • FAQs • Contact SSO Support
Launchpad account management is provided by the Ubuntu Single Sign On service
------------
Four problems with this:
1. The text implies that I am not actually logged out of Launchpad.
2. If that's not what you mean, then what on earth is a "website that uses this website"?
3. The word "website" is used three times in 26 words. <http://
4. "You are now logged out of the Launchpad Login Service website" and "Launchpad account management is provided by the Ubuntu Single Sign On service" seem to contradict each other.
Fixing bug 123734, by abolishing the logout page, would be one way of fixing this bug.

The first problem here is that Launchpad still isn't sending a return URL so SSO doesn't know which site you've just logged out of. This is addressed by bug #451336. Once that's implemented, the wording will be different and we can take a closer look to see if this bug has any further actions.
