Does X wait for child processes at logout?

When you logout of X (i.e. you return to the gdm login screen) does X
wait for all child processes to terminate?  In addition does every
child process get a SIGTERM signal sent to it?

I'm asking because I want to execute some shutdown functions
automatically when I logout and if X *does* wait then this would be a
way to do it.
