I've tried that too, except I had panel and background-properties on
different lines, but with that, I don't think the Gnome logout button works
- you have to exit using the Windowmaker exit button. I'd like to be able to
use either. I think this is possible with Enlightenment, but it's hard to
tell, because it segfaults every time I try to quit, and I don't really want
to use it anyway.
