No ability to execute pre logoff commands

[sleepyhollows]

Hi all

What im trying to do is shutdown virtual box when the users logs off.

I've been looking high and low, and can't seem to find a solution.

I'm pretty dumb founded that Gnome doesn't provide a pre log off hook?

Gnome very nicely gives Virtual box a chance to prompt the user, but I would like to execute the save state commands BEFORE G'nome has signalled VBox to close.

PostSession does not acheive this.

Any ideas?? :)

I found a nifty python script that hooks into the gnome api

Only problem is that it receives the 'save-yourself' signal at the same time vbox does, and therefore vbox is prompting to close when my vboxmanage command runs, which locks up the VM.

Oh well.
