I wondered how I could logout from gnome-session without any panel with an special button on it. After a while of searching I found the solution: "gnome-session-save --kill" brings up the gnome-session logout dialog, which is definitely nicer than the one from rox-session, even more when running Ubuntu. So I was able to make an logout button with menu, providing the options to save or logout from the session or open the gnome-session-properties dialog.
