So, after a bit more work, it turns out it's not the start_kdeinit stuff 
per se, that's just what came with the default installation.  If I 
comment out my entire autostart.sh, and put in something like xterm &, I 
then cannot Log Out until I kill xterm.

I am completely stuck now, hopefully something will occur to me over 
lunch!
