I'm currently running the internal SR10.2 version, so I'm not sure when this
applies, however I'm certainly not aware of the switch to DM root problem
(I always run X root (but then, my office-mate deleted the entire /sys/dm
tree :-)).  However there is (and has been for a while) a DM logout
script.  I believe it uses the same naming conventions as the other DM
scripts in /sys/dm, this one named (somewhat strangely, I'll admit)
"startup_logout".

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept      responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate   everyone else's.
