1.Add another application launcher to the panel.
2.Add a app button pointing to your logout command, such as lxde-logout. (needs a *.desktop file)

You create the file /usr/share/applications/logout.desktop
Here's mine:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Logout
Comment=Get me out of here
Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession-logout
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Human/48x48/apps/gnome-session-logout.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System;
StartupNotify=false
NoDisplay=false

Alternatively
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Log Out
Comment=Shutdown, reboot or change session
Icon=stock_exit
Exec=lxsession-logout
Terminal=false
Type=Application

I've been putting .desktop files for panel launchers in my own ~/.local/share/applications folder instead of /usr/share/applications . You don't have to use root powers, and it seems to work OK as long as you browse to that folder when making the panel button.

Thanks a lot this worked me too. Panel needed a little tweaks to get it the way i wanted.
By the way, i used this cause the path to the icon didnt work for me.
Icon=gnome-logout
Using Linux Mint LXDE 11 rc.
