This is the key.  It was a bug in the endsession scripts if you had
digits in the hostname.  It was fixed after 405F
(it was introduced during dualhead changes in 402).

The intent was to remove the screen number (if any) from $DISPLAY.
Change the line that sets PROP_DISPLAY to just set it to $DISPLAY;
that works for just about everybody.
