[ale] gdm logout script

Gdm/gnome-session users,

I would like to be able to specify a gnome-session logout script of
sorts.  (The reason for this at the moment is to kill off some processes
that don't seem to be dying off when I logout of X.  In particular, the
Esound daemon and a root window image rotator.)

Gdm does provide /etc/gdm/PostSession for end of session scripting, but
those would get run as root and so I couldn't source a generic user's
.xlogout (or something similar) without the obvious security and system
hazards.

Hmm...my /etc/gdm/Session/Default script just exec's gnome-session as
its last command...any reason I couldn't instead just run gnome-session
normally and put a line after it like /bin/sh ${HOME}/.xlogout  ??  This
script gets run as normal user, right?

Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers,
Brandon
