If you edit your ~/.xinitrc (for startx) or ~/.xsession (for the display
managers) you can add stuff after invoking the window manager, that stuff will
get run when you log out.  (unless the server crashes or something)

for example, your .xsession might be:

  xsetroot -solid midnightblue
  x-window-manager
  killall gpg-agent

I vaguely recall someone said .xsession was deprecated or something a little
while ago, I don't know about that, I use startx and .xinitrc
