Yes, you're right; good call. I'd forgotten about that part.

So, I've attached an example that should allow you to define code that 
runs on logout, and also has full access to the session. I've tested it 
(briefly), so if anyone has any better ideas, they are more than welcome 
to share.

Andrea, this should address your needs. Does anyone else think we should 
make this (or, better yet, a cleaned-up version of it) part of the Nevow 
examples?
