- There is a system level script in /usr/lib/X11/vue/Vuelogin/Xreset
- that gets run when you exit a Vue session.
-
- Perhaps you can convince your system administrator to change the
- script (null by default) to invoke a .vuelogout script in the
- user's home directory (if it exists).
-
- On second thought, this might not be such a great idea cause Xreset
- gets run as root. If there's a way to turn off root permissions inside
- of the Xreset script before invoking the user's script, I suppose
- it would be okay.
