I have a wallpaper changer which changes background every 5 minutes. This does not get killed at logoff and a second instance is created at new login.

In Gnome these processes were owned by gnome-session and got automatically killed. But not so with Xfce, here they are owned by init and running forever.

How can I assure that such processes get killed at logoff?
