As you suggested, I've tried running
  shopt -s huponexit
on the remote server I've ssh'ed to, but when I run gnome-session afterwards I
still cannot completely logout interactively from gnome-session. For example,
the firefox windows remain open after I attempt to logout interactively.

Any other suggestions beside Ctrl-Alt-Backspace?

Thanks,
Jerome
