IMHO, the appropriate solution would be to send an AppleEvent to LoginWindow.app to logout the user.

Yet I'm a bit dubitative to ever see a description on how to do this, since it's the same issue that the one with the restart and shutdown Apple events.

It looks like this is a feature that we are not allowed to use.
