the only (ha ha. joke.) thing that annoys me about the NeXT is that  to
logout i need to click on the NeXT icon in the dock, click on logout (or 
hit command-q) click again to confirm that,yes, i'm going through all of this
to actually logout.   now, my idea of what logout should be is to hit
ctrl-D and then leave.
is there a way i could approach this? ie. how to write a program that does what
logout does without asking for confirmation, or alternatively, something 
that just does the regular logout sequence, confirmation and all, but can
be activated from the shell.

Are others annoyed at this? As far as i understand, NeXT's philosophy is
that you *shouldn't* logout.  and the reason for not having "logout" 
as the default button is that "logging out is a big thing" and you want 
to be really sure that you want to do this. comments?
