That's easy, though the exaxt details depend on your OS.  Just use the 
/etc/init.d subsystem to make a K script for runlevel 5 (on my OS, that 
would mean putting a script in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ starting with a K. 
Whenever you exit X and return to runlevel 3 (or shut down), that script 
will be run, 

THere's also ~/.bash_logout
