[K12OSN] Kill User processes on log-off

[Rob Owens]

On my system if I attempt to log in while I'm already
logged in somewhere else, gdm notifies me and asks
something like "abort or log in anyway?".  I guess
that could be changed to "kill the other session or
log in anyway".  Well I don't know how to do it, but
I'm sure it could be done...
