Because the xlogout is executed last, the logout button appears in front of
things on that corner of the screeen - for me, this includes my xclock and
a piece of my emacs window.

There is not yet a man page on this that I can locate - 'man xlogin' yields
xdm, 'man xlogout' yields nothing, and 'man logout' dates back to 11/87, hence
not even referring to things in this release.

So, I would like to know if I can configure the location of the logout
button, and can I make it start out behind other windows instead of in
front?  If I can't configure these capabilities, is it something that could
be put in at some future date?

Thanks.
