The way Etoile does is that in the xsession,
it launches etoile_system after login.
Then etoile_system will read SystemTaskList.plist and lauches applications
one-by-one, including window manager (Azalea).
So the right way to log out is to stop etoile_system, not window manager,
and I believe it is what the menu server does.
If you launch window manager in your xsession instead of etoile_system,
then you have to logout by killing the window manager
and the logout in menu server will not work.
Now, the logout in menu server specifically call -logOut: for
workspace manager.
In this case, etoile_system will be the workspace manager
because GSworkspace.app has no -logOut:.
Therefore, it is commented out so that it will not use GWorkspace,
which is the default workspace manager for GNUstep.
The '/etoile_system' is the name to represent etoile_system.
If you have your own workspace manager (Finder),
you can replace that with 'Finder', I believe.
So I believe the missing point for your Finder is that
you need to change '/etoile_system' to your 'Finder'
if you plan not to use etoile_system for logOut.
