If you use .xsession to start the window manager (E17 I assume!), then
you will have a line in it that starts the window manager, looking
something like

/usr/bin/enlightenment-0.17

Note that there is no "&" after this line, because you don't want to
background the window manager!

The .xsession script runs when X is started, starts the window
manager, and continues running until the window manager exits (you can
see this using "ps afx" from a shell when X is running). When you exit
the window manager, the above line of .xsession finishes, and X
continues to run whatever lines come after it. So there is no need for
a separate logout script. Just put whatever you want to run at startup
*before* the line that starts the window manager, and put whatever you
want to run at logout *after* that line.

The old-fashioned way of setting up your X session is actually quite
powerful.
