I use the approach you outline as well, although it's not critical that the user logs out of my app anyway but they do feel good about having an explicit logout button. I however pop up a small "now logging out" message for them in the new window, partly because I think that's perhaps nicer to show that what they asked to happen actually did, but also because an off-screen popup wasn't allowed.
Just curious how you got the off-screen popup to work without a signed script (assuming you didn't have one?).

This is fine if you want to provide a popup window to the user. This still isn't an authoritative way of determining if the user has "logged out".
Your app should never depend on the client's PC having electricity.
