OK, done. Still doesn't understand. The kill-session-processes option
is not set, so it should default to "no", right? Also, my
/etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf has no options set, in particular
KillOnlyUsers is not set, and therefore is should default to "no",
right? So, again, if both options are no, what is killing my session
at logout time?

Regards.
