One more item to solve nevertheless.

Not quite sure exactly what you mean, but when I want to logout i usually just run:

pkill -u $(whoami)

where you can replace "$(whoami)" with your username in a script. There is probably a better way to do it. I also have a menu entry in menu.xml

 <item label="Log Out">
    <action name="Exit">
      <prompt>yes</prompt>
    </action>
  </item>

So when I right click on the desktop there is a "Log Out" option (which is probably the better way of doing it).

Do you mean you want a graphical Shutdown / Reboot / Logout / Yada... menu?

lxde-logout is part of the lxde-common package

@bluebob, I use also the menu.xml option, no other choice.
@satanselbow, sorry I was not clear.
I am in open box, with lxde bar only.
There is a logout label on the menu, showing  "logout.The answer of this command is logout is not set...

You can use oblogout. I use with openbox. No issues.
