RE: proper way to log out...

[jason whizzird net]

change .Xclients to this:
#!/bin/bash
gnome-session
##

this will autorun E and will run the panel. but as you have it setup now, the
logout logs out the panel only. if you set it up like above, it'll stop the X
server as well.

if you can't use gnome-session with your graphical login, i'd suggest going
back to a console login or trying gdm, since you need gnome-session to make it
control the X session.
