I have setting up an account which I would like to work as follows:

The person logs in and an application is autolaunched (easy enough).

The application then sets itself up so that no other application can be  
accessed (done).

Finally (and the problem), once the user tells the application they are  
done I would like for the application to log the account out.  I see no  
way to do this with the WorkspaceRequest protocol....Is there a way to  
accomplish this short of just killing the workspace or windowserver?

Any thoughts/comments/suggestions are appreciated.
