Those are worse suggestions imo. Do you really think that "terminate 
work" or "end work" or "do something with my session" are either brief 
or nontechnical enough for the modern desktop user. Not to mention that 
they are rife with the same missed/double meaning as any other 
substitute. People don't want to know about sessions, and the word 
terminate is a big red flag. All they know is they want to leave,and i 
think "quit" describes that nicely if not slightly obtusely. -mf
