He's not asking for a forced logout. He (and I, having been forced to
ask exactly this question in the past on the list) are asking for a
remark in the install screen that the new X11 will be "enabled" (a
better term is needed) after a logout. Its not obvious to most users
that the current login $DISPLAY references the socket for the "old" X11.
