I disagree. Zephyr is a notification *and* location service. Your
suggestion would disable the location functionality whenever
notification functionality is disabled. Why should
zctl cancel
zctl set exposure <some kind of visible>
be illegal? The real problem is that there is no "automagic" way of
telling the server you've logged out other than having a zwgc exit.
Perhaps "zctl flush_locs" should be in the default .logout file?
(Perhaps there should *be* a default .logout file...)
