Depends on your shell. csh and tcsh put things in ~/.logout. With other shells (e.g. bash), you must trap the logout event and have it run a script: add trap $HOME/.logout 0 to your ~/.profile (untested, got that from a couple web searches).

Bash has ~/.bash_logout. I use it to run clear to clean the login screen.

Thanks for your help, but the bash_logout and bash_login are prevented from running when using kde/gnome.
with kde I found out (after extensive ircing) that the beginning part of the script is kde startup and the end, is kde shutdown, so you can simply edit that.
Thanks again though for your help.
