logout from gnome-session over ssh

[Jerome Asselin]

I want to be able to run gnome-session on a remote linux server from a
Windows XP workstation. I also want to have decent security, so I'm
trying to avoid using XDMCP.

I've just installed cygwin, selecting these packages (and default
dependencies): openssh, vim, xorg-x11-base.

>From a cygwin bash shell, I run these commands:

Xwin &
export DISPLAY=:0
ssh -Y remoteserver -l user gnome-session

This works fine until I try to logout from gnome-session. Logging out
doesn't kill nautilus nor ssh (nor firefox). I have to manually kill the
ssh command to terminate the gnome-session.

How can I make it so that I can cleanly logout from gnome-session?

Thanks.
