Try inserting the following into your .profile:
export LOGIN
if [ "$LOGIN" = "" ] ;
then LOGIN="logged in"
trap "echo logout ; . $HOME/.bash_logout" 0
fi
This seems the most likely way to do it (I assume that bash is GNU's
version of the Bourne shell with various non-proprietary doodads
inserted).
If my assumption is wrong, flames to my mailbox, please.

(quite essential) thirteen levels so they can do this properly?
