I guess I don't know what you're asking. There's no real GUI log out, but gdm is the best graphical log in screen for Gnome.

What do I do to get GDM to handle the log processes.

I want to have a graphical screen for all log in and log out.

What do I do to get GDM to do it?

So you want something to LOG all logins and logouts of the box? Or you just want a graphical greeter?

Beth hits an Enter from the lilo multi-boot (Gentoo & XP).

She wants to have an easy GUI screen to enter her user name and pw. Then she goes to gnome.

When she logs out of gnome she wants the same easy GUI screens like GDM did before I re-compiled the kernel (and forgot how I did it).

She doesn't want to do any command line "startx" and "reboot" stuff.
