Probably it would be best to use dbus for session termination if it is running.
This could be one puzzle piece, indeed. Basically, we can kill x2goruncommand and then the session manager would automatically go into logout.
However, esp. the GTK desktops (MATE, XFCE, etc.) leave many stray processes around (e.g. gvfsd, colord, etc.). For these friends, some more intelligence is required. Might have that in the X2Go Server renicer code already, because Lee at those early times worked on code that detects the complete process tree of a running desktop session.
Nowadays, one could argue that cgroups are another and better alternative. But cgroups are not available on non-Linux, so maybe a kernel-agnostic approach is a more favourable way to go?
Yes, I absolutely vote for cgroups. Other systems probably have similar approaches but for Linux cgroups is the way to go, IMO.
