If you are talking about loging out of KDE, I think that if you check
the: "startkde" script that the KDE session is
started by the command:
kwrapper ksmserver $KDEWM
When you logout of KDE, execution of the script continues and the X
session is still running and the current user is still logged on.
So, you can add whatever you want right after that command. But, you
would have to restart KDE, you couldn't prevent it from ending.
What I don't know is exactly what loging out of KDE does as far as
programs that are running in the X session, but I don't think that they
are terminated until control is returned to KDM.
Now, if you want to actually intercept the logout from KDE, you will
have to look into the Fine Manual, or ask on the developers list.
To read the KDM manual open Konqueror and enter: help:kdm
Same for other manuals.
