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 (#230422), +and revisited every time Debian Edu was working on a new release. +Today, this finally paid off.

+ +

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.

+ +

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.
