Check /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu, on my system this ends:
   [restart] (Restart)
   [exit] (Exit)
Which does logout and restart. Are they a better solution for you?

I cant get back into fluxbox yet I cant say.

If you have htop installed you could use it to interactively find out
which processes are running on a virtual console. If you do not have
htop, you might also try pstree and kill (-s TERM) processes still
running below your login manager (if any).

I've installed 'htop' and am having a play with it. 'Pstree' seems to be showing everything in alpha order, how to get it showing what is below my log on manager, which is 'lightdm'? 

Thanks
Sharon.
