NAME
logout-button - creates button which is used with an appropriate .xsession to terminate the user's session.
SYNOPSIS
logout-button
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the logout-button command.
logout-button puts up a button on your screen, which exits when pressed. If set up correctly, the exiting of the logout-button will cause the X Display Manager to end the session that was started by logging in.
OPTIONS
logout-button has no command line options whatsoever.
SETUP
To use with the example provided: First, copy the example .xsession file into your home directory, making sure it's named .xsession. Make it executable. Next, edit it to taste, starting any desired clients in the background. Be sure to choose your favorite window manager. That should be it!
You might try without editing first; if problems come up, you can log in on a text console and look at the file .xsession-errors to see what might have gone wrong.
Note! If you later get something else to act as your session manager, you can still use the .xsession, just replace the "exec logout-button" with "exec <yourSessionManager>".
For example, Gnome has a session manager called gnome-session, so you could replace the exec line with "exec gnome-session".
