Do you want to run something when you exit from your X session, or when
you exit KDM?

When an X session ends, control is returned to the "Xsession" script if
you didn't start kde with: "exec startkde".  Or, more properly, XDM runs
a script called: "Xreset" at the end of an X session.  KDM will also do
this but the current version needs to be set up to do it.  Add the line:

Reset=/usr/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xreset

or something similar if your path is different in the: 

[X-*-Core]

section.

This script can then source a file: "~/.xreset" for each user if you
want.

Xreset
--------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

. $HOME/.xreset

--------------------------------

Note the "." or use the word: "source".

If you need to run something at the end of your KDM session, this
presents a problem since the KDM session does not actually end, it is
killed by the halt (or reboot) command.
