No, it's not. I don't know what desktop environment you are using,
Gnome or KDE, but both of them have a logout or close session or
something similar in the menu. This will however close all open
programs, so don't forget to save documents you might be working on
before that.

P.S. I recommend you don't post beneath the signature if your client
can't quote properly. Or you could trim the signature (it starts with
-- , two dashes and a space). I almost missed what you wrote because my
client shows the signatures in gray.
