How to configure XLOGOUT

The Xlogout button is part of the Dash program, and can be
manipulated in a variety of ways.

To remove the Xlogout button from your screen entirely, add the
following line to your .enviroment file:

set skip_xlogout

Xlogout can also be manipulated by adding some of the following lines to
your .Xresources file.

To set the logout button geometry:

	Dash*logoutButton.window.geometry:        -0-0

To set the logout button font:

	Dash*logoutButton*label.font:             *-times-bold-i-*--*-240-*

To set the logout button label:

	Dash*logoutButton*label.label:            Logout

The resources that affect the logout dialog box are:

	Dash*logoutDialog*window.geometry:        400x100+318+326
	Dash*logoutDialog*window.title:           You sure?
	Dash*logoutDialog*Label.font:             *-times-medium-r-*-*-*-180-*
	Dash*logoutDialog*yes.label:              Yes, logout
	Dash*logoutDialog*no.label:               No, continue this session
	Dash*logoutDialog*question.label:         Do you really want to logout?
	Dash*logoutDialog*question.font:          *-times-bold-i-*--*-240-*

Also, by default MWM will decorate X logout, as well as any other Dash
window (such as xclock). To turn this off, add this line to your
.Xresources file:

	Mwm*Dash.clientDecoration:                border

However, this will make your dash clocks not have a titlebar either.  You
probably want to have at least resizehandles, so you would want:

	Mwm*Dash.clientDecoration:                resizeh
