new Xsession mechanism



Good day!

I am wondering if there is a correct place to put
X session shutdown code now that .../Xsession.d
is used.  Kind of like S vs. K in /etc/init.d .  After
studying all the scripts in the lifecycle of an X
session, I don't see any such mechanism.  That
doesn't mean there isn't one, tho.

If a display manager is used, no problem since
it will normally have a reset script.  But for
startx/xinit, is there a hook for cleanup code?

Specifically, I want to kill processes that have
daemonized themselves.  They don't always die
with the X server.

As analternative, I can put cleanup into ~/.xsession
but that means I can't exec the window manager.

TIA,
  -=greg
