Workflow - starting/ending xfce-sessions (using SSH/Xepyhr)

Hello!

I try to get multiple sessions out of a (K)VM guest at the same time and do not want to use the virt-viewer - too complicated.
First, I am starting a network enabled Xephyr on my host.
Then I use ssh to the VM for an ordinary user to login
(using ssh, but NOT using 'ssh -X) and run a user-specific startscript.
This works and the session appears and is usable.
But I cannot logout.
I can cllck logoff session in the GUI, the dialog disappears
but nothing else and the user procs continue to run.

The command to start the session is:

nohup xfce4-session >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Manfred
