The thing is, that only really works for Enlightenment, as far as I can
tell, and I don't really want to use that. Would it be possible to specify a
window manager in some config file for gnome-session, so that gnome-session
starts (and hence also closes) the window manager with the logout button?
Similarly, it could detect when the window manager process dies (e.g. due to
user picking an "Exit" menu option) and (at least optionally) close itself
when that happens. As far as I can see (although I'm not a programmer) that
shouldn't be TOO hard to do.
