I am trying to execute two commands one on logon and one on logoff. For the log on one, I put my script into /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d and this works.

I'd like it to be system-wide so I can use any WM.

Have a look at your display manager (lightdm, gdm, kdm, xdm, wdm).

Newer lightdm versions can have a session-cleanup-script entry in the [SeatDefaults] section of /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.

For gdm, you can put a script in the PostSession directory.

For kdm, xdm and wdm have a look at this answer at SuperUser.

  • You can put exec >/tmp/Xreset.log 2>&1 at the start of the script (your Xreset command), so you can see whether the script is called at all, and you can see its error messages.
