At the urging and suggestion of some people, I have made some more
changes to xscreensaver:
*) The startup message now says how to disable it, and how to find out
more about the logout button.
*) A new resource, logoutCommand, has been added. If it is set, then
xscreensver will use that command to try to log the user out,
rather than trying to use kill().
*) If the XSESSION environment variable exists and is non-empty, a
signal is sent to that process rather than to all processes.
*) Xscreensaver will not, by default, exit after logging the user out.
Instead, it assumes that if the user does get logged out
successfully, the X server will be reset and it will go away that
way. The timeoutExit resource can be set to true to make it really
exit.
*) Since there are some situations in which xscreensaver won't be able
to log the user out, the logout button message has been augmented.
I've added something to the effect of, "If this doesn't work after
ten or fiften seconds, then reboot the workstation."
