I'm pretty sure I've seen this done with dcop.

Try:
# sudo dcop --user USERNAME ksmserver default logout 0 0 0

(where USERNAME is the user you want to kill).  I haven't a clue what
the rest of that does (I just googled - knowing that you'd need to use
dcop helps with that :-) ), except that ksmserver is definitely the right
program.
