Enclosed are two bug reports sent about people not being able to logout.

We could always use end_session again in the alias... I would guess that
people have been copying the system xsession and editing it...  We
certainly should not be leaving people logged in...

System name:            gene-wolfe
Type and version:       CVAXSTAR 7.2C
Display type:           SM

What were you trying to do?
        Log out.

What's wrong:
        I didn't log out.

What should have happened:
        The machine logged me out.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Huh? alias logout
kill -HUP $XSESSION && exit
Huh? echo $XSESSION
I do not touch $XSESSION during my login sequence.
If the default .xsession file has changed, that would be something useful to
know, as I have my own .xsession file.

System name:            test-rt
Type and version:       RTPC-ROMPC 7.2C
Display type:           apa16

What were you trying to do?
log out of the session with the standard alias "logout"

What's wrong:
The logout didn't kill the seesion. Instead, it only killed the xterm.  I kept t
rying to logout from different windows until I ran out of windows. THen, I had t
o reboot the machine...

What should have happened:
It shoulda logged me out.
