+1 from me, a shorter login sound would be better imo, though I personally 
don't like them, and they upset my better half :D

As to not hiving a logout sound, I am not sure which way to go on that. 
Currently, the default is to select logout/shutdown/restart and then confirm 
the action, so on the surface a sound would be somewhat superfluous.
