I don't know if a way right off to build that into shutdown, but you could
just write a script to go around and kill whatever. Run it out of userspace.
Then actually shut down after everything that has pending whatevers has
closed out.
I'm not too keen on the way this works either, FWIW. I see too many "Do you
want to save?" dialogs flashing by if I just log out in the middle of
something. I never have really thought about trying to come up with a better
way. I just close anything I care about before I log out.
