When on a machine with an X environment, to logout, all you have to do is click on the logout button in the upper right corner of the screen with the left mouse button, and then choose logout to verify your intentions.
For your own protection, it is important that you remember to logout. Typing exit in all the windows WILL NOT log you out of your account. You know you have logged out of your account when the clock in the upper right corner disappears. If you don't logout, someone can sit down at the workstation or terminal you have abandoned and access all of your files. Be aware that if the system should crash while you are logged in, you will no longer be logged in when it comes back up. Consequently, there is no need for you to wait around for the machine to restart so that you can logout.
