Starting daemons with i3 and lockscreen trouble

Hi,

I have been using i3 for some time now and still have some issues.
I start applications like transmission-daemon, nm-applet and pasystray from my config file.
When I log out using the i3exit script from the wiki these programs are still running. This is annoying when I log in again or another user logs in.
I wondered if I processes can have a parent<->child relation so that the children exit when the parent does.
Another idea I had was using user-systemd-services and create a login and a logout target that get triggered via dbus or something.

Also I use i3-lock to lock my screen, which doesnt allow me to switch the user or create a new session when the screen is locked. Another problem is that I need to use xss-lock to lock the screen when I want my screen locked on suspend, which I dont like (related to the previous problem).
Maybe this could be solved by embedding i3 into a gnome-session? I already tried the i3-gnome package from the AUR which solved some problems I had with my ssh-agent, but I dont know how to use its screenlocker.

I hope you can help with my problems
