Well, as the name implies, that's only called when you log out of a
"bash" session.  At one point I was able to muck around in /etc/X11
and make it so that X was run under ssh-agent.  You should be able
to do something similar if you are using GDM/XDM.

I really don't do GDM/XDM though...  I don't really get it...  Now,
if you were using startx, it should be easy enough to do -- make a
wrapper to startx that does what you want after the real startx
exits...

The init.d stuff includes code which is run to both start up and
shut down sessions.  The files in rc2.d that start with "S" are
to start, the ones that start with "K" are to stop.
