You don't want to do that like this, it won't ask the user to correctly
save his work.
kde has a mechanism to do that on the WM level, I bet GNOME has as well.
Become the same user, set your DISPLAY var and do
dcop kdesktop kdesktop logout
Or similar.
In the other case; do a
ps auxf
this gives you a tree (forrest) view of the processes; just kill the top level
X and all children will follow.
