Stop current logout or change logout script in KDE4

I'm making a logout script because I hate the fact that when I logout the apps don't minimize or close before loggin out (not all of them at least) and the background doesn't show properly.
I have already made a script that works for shutdown and reboot, simply detect the runlevel, stop the shutdown, wmctrl to show the desktop and start shutting down or rebooting again (based on the runlevel), but I can't find a way to do the same for logout. Also I can't find where can I change the default logout script (if it exist, I'm relatively new to linux but love tinkering with everything I can), and if is also possible to do the same for shutdown or rebooting, then please them how

Re: Stop current logout or change logout script in KDE4

Which distribution are you trying this on exactly? Neither KDE4 nor normal runlevels are concepts that exist on a current Arch install.

Re: Stop current logout or change logout script in KDE4

Arch, if it helps, I installed arch forking ArchTitus (an installer script for arch) and making it use lvm and uninstalling some packages, the rest is untouched.
The logout script is the following:

#!/bin/zsh
runlevel=$(systemctl get-default)

shutdown -c

wmctrl -k on

for scrn in $(screen -list | sed -En "s/[ \t]*([0-9]+\.[^\t^ ]*).*/\1/p"); do
    screen -XS $scrn kill
done

if [[ $runlevel == "poweroff.target" ]]; then
    shutdown -P
elif [[ $runlevel == "reboot.target" ]];
    shutdown -r
else
    loginctl terminate-session "$(loginctl session-status | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')"
fi

screen -wipe

Actually. the output of "pacman -Q | grep kde" is:

kde-cli-tools 5.23.3-1
kde-gtk-config 5.23.3-1
kdeclarative 5.87.0-1
kdeconnect 21.08.3-1
kdecoration 5.23.3-1
kded 5.87.0-1
kdelibs4support 5.87.0-1
kdesu 5.87.0-1
libblockdev 2.26-1
polkit-kde-agent 5.23.3-1
qt5-base 5.15.2+kde+r254-1
qt5-declarative 5.15.2+kde+r36-1
qt5-quickcontrols2 5.15.2+kde+r8-1
qt5-svg 5.15.2+kde+r13-1
qt5-tools 5.15.2+kde+r17-3
qt5-wayland 5.15.2+kde+r36-1
xdg-desktop-portal-kde 5.23.3-1

But there is a .kde4 folder in my home folder so I assume it was kde4
