According to "info bash" the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if a
instance of bash executed as login shell stops. I tried it and it
really works if you have a ~/.bash_logout like:
  echo und tschuess!
  sleep 3
(the sleep is necessary to see the output) AND if you login at the
console and then finish the session.

It is indeed not executed if you run bash in a console window,
obviously because bash is not a login shell in this case. Perhaps you
should try to call the shell with the "--login" argument (in the
appropriate .kdelnk file).
