bash_logout & xsession help needed

[Michael Graham <oobermick@yahoo.co.uk>]

I have this simple .xsession

#!/bin/bash -l

gnome-session

and this even simpler .bash_logout

echo hello > /tmp/logout

When I logout from a console the file /tmp/logout is created (as expected)
but when I logout of gnome the file isn't created. Can anyone explain this
behaviour?
