+<p>6 years ago, as part of the Debian Edu development I am involved
+in, I asked for a hook in the kdm and gdm setup to run scripts as root
+when the user log out. A bug was submitted against the xfree86-common
+package in 2004 (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/230422">#230422</a>),
+and revisited every time Debian Edu was working on a new release.
+Today, this finally paid off.</p>
+
+<p>The framework for this feature was today commited to the git
+repositry for the xorg package, and the git repository for xdm has
+been updated to use this framework. Next on my agenda is to make sure
+kdm and gdm also add code to use this framework.</p>
+
+<p>In Debian Edu, we want to ability to run commands as root when the
+user log out, to get rid of runaway processes and do general cleanup
+after a user. With this framework in place, we finally can do that in
+a generic way that work with all display managers using this
+framework. My goal is to get all display managers in Debian use it,
+similar to how they use the Xsession.d framework today.<p>
