(Get the code!)
Gnome-screensaver has support for a "logout" button that is displayed on the lock-dialog after a preset time (logout_delay), like XLock had.
It is useful for public workstations for example in classrooms where users are allowed to lock the session for a short time if they need to go to the bathroom etc. but still allowing other users (and admins!) to logout a locked session after the time has expired. Opening another session doesn't work, because the previous one is left hanging in the background.
If there really is a way to close the session nicely without applying the patch, I'd like to know ;) The man page isn't that helpful. (the gui is always presented, whether you have --gui option or not?)
