You should be able to find some discussions about this topic in the
archives. Look for a thread called "bash_logout & xsession help
needed".
If I am not mistaken ~/.bash_logout is executed when you log out of a
shell. and all commands after 'exec window_manager' in ~/.xsession or
~/.xinitrc are run after the window manager terminates.
So I guess (I haven't tried though) you should modify your ~/.xsession
or ~/.xinitrc to something like:
--- ~/.xsession | ~/.xinitrc ---
gkrellm -w &
exec fluxbox
echo "fluxbox terminated" > ~/.fluxbox.log
-- EOF ---
