I find this part most interesting:
├─2*[lightdm─┬─Xorg]
│ ├─lightdm─┬─lxsession─┬─caja───3*[{caja}]]

│ │ │ ├─zim]
│ │ │ └─{lxsession}]
│ │ └─{lightdm}]
│ ├─lightdm]
│ └─2*[{lightdm}]]
There is a whole lot of programs still running -- check the lxsession
subtree: An openbox (which is a window manager) is still running and
some other LXDE stuff as well (pcmanfm, lxpanel), also a mail client. To
kill the last window manager just terminate "openbox" via killall
openbox. However, it might be required to terminate the whole tree,
probably something like killall -s TERM lxsession or such. On the other
hand, I am unsure how much lxsession belongs to lightdm, i.e. might it
be necessary to keep lightdm running?

Or a script to terminate your session upon logoff.
