We have the same problem with Netscape 4, don't we?

Anyway, there is a place in /etc/athena/login/Xlogin where we could run
a script or program just before tickets and tokens are destroyed.  But
I'm not sure what this script could do, exactly:

  1. Kill any Mozilla running in this session and wait for it to die. 
     Not a good idea, since Mozilla should not be allowed to delay a
     logout by misbehaving; and anyway, how would we know which Mozilla
     processes are running in this session?

  2. Remove any lock files for Mozillas running in this session.  But
     how would we identify which lock files are for Mozillas running in
     this session?  Matching the IP address of this machine isn't
     sufficient.
