A KWin effect started after the user selected logout from the 
full-screen dialog could be used.
This clearing of screen makes sense also for things like shutdown 
and Hibernate which takes a full minute on my machine...

The tricky part with things like logout is that apps that have 
unsaved documents take focus, would be rather embarrassing if the 
kwin effect showing some pretty picture is hiding that kind of 
problem from the user.

I think the whole point boils down to the simple question of why 
plasmashell is the one owning the desktop background image 
instead of the compositor?
