Sorry about the subject header, but I couldn't think of a concise yet clear
way to express it. The other day at work I realized I had forgotten to log
out of an XFCE4 session on my home computer. I connected to it by SSH and
used kill to close the running graphical applications, then killed a few
other things to close the X session. Is there a "correct" way to do this?
I don't think there is a "correct" way to do this. But what you did is
exactly what I would do as well. If you can use sudo un the machine in
question, just do
sudo /etc/init.r/{x|d|k}dm restart
to restart the login manager. Every running X session (and child
processes) will be killed that way.
