When you exit afterstep, you are doing just that -- exiting
afterstep.  gnome-session has no way of interpreting this action as
"log out".

I recommend configuring your window manager so that the "exit" menu
item instead runs "save-session --kill".  This will correctly shut
down your session.

Killing the session manager "works" in that it logs you out, but it
doesn't save your session for you in this case.
