Hold on. More tests revealed that this does not work after all. Whether I 
called it 90x12-custom_system-wide-logout, or 91x11-custom_system-wide-
logout, this script was actually being executed during the login process, 
directly after my 20x12-custom_system-wide-login script. I didn't 
immediately notice, because I was logging in and out within the same 
minute and did not include any time stamps in my test scripts.

Well, now there's a bit more of a reason to do so. However, I can still 
do what I want without too much effort. I've now moved the system-wide 
logout script to /etc/Xsession/Xreset.d/ and am calling the /etc/Xsession/
Xreset script using the session-cleanup-script statement in lightdm.conf. 
This system-wide logout script is run as root, but all I do is use it to 
run "/usr/bin/sudo -u $USER <actual_system-wide_logout_script>" and voila.
 
Cheers,
