Session log-out on Snow Leopard

Hi all,

  In Mac OS X 10.6, it is no longer possible to send a kill the loginwindow
process (even though its owner is the current user). This non-standard
behavior is odd, and brings a limitation to software that needs to terminate
the user session.
  Since Mac OS X 10.0, killing the loginwindow process had been the way to
terminate a session. As far as I know, all other methods allow the user to
cancel (or at least postpone) the log-out which is unacceptable in my case.
  Does anyone know a way to terminate a session that would work with OS X
10.6? This is not a Cocoa issue per se, but maybe the 10.6 Framework has a
new "terminateSession" method I overlooked :)

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
 Etienne
