Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to clear out the home directory on 
Ubuntu when a user logs out?

Basically what I to achieve is have a script run to automatically when a 
user logs out of their Gnome session so it resets everything back to the 
default.  I've tried putting a couple of commands into .bash_logout to 
see it that works but it doesn't seem to run on a Gnome session logout.  
I just wondered if anyone knew how I could specify a script to run at 
logout for specific users?

Ta,

Rob
