I got this error in console when I tried to logout:

I don't run my own .xsession file. My login process and account seemed
normal except that the system was very slow to respond especially on
anything which involved network access, which I assumed was due to just
generally busy network at this busy hour.
I tried the command "end_session -force" and got:
> % end_session -force
> uid: Undefined variable.

I'm going to try to logout now by manually killing session_gate:
> % ps aux | grep gate
