I have this added to my PostSession/Default to shut down a running 
instance of POPFile when a user logs out.

lynx -dump http://127.0.0.1:8080/shutdown &>/dev/null

POPFile does shut down when I log. If I comment the line and then log 
out and in as a different user that doesn't utilize POPFile, it is still 
running.

So, the experience I am having suggests to me that PostSession/Default
does execute. This is in F10 and F9.

Maybe it has something to do with the custom commands you have? I know 
that when F9 was released I had to revamp a couple of little scripts 
that I automatically ran at login because paths to specific things in 
the scripts had changed from F8.
