We don't provide shutdown hooks.  You can hack up your xinitrc as Chris 
G suggested, but that's not guaranteed to work forever.

The "correct" way is for your VM GUI to support session management, and 
then when you log out, it will be given a chance to clean up its state[1].

[1] Of course, xfce4-session has behaved slightly out-of-spec forever in 
this regard; it only gives the app a chance to save its state if you 
check the 'save session' option on logout.  I plan to fix this eventually...
