I set a cookie to indicate a user is in Edit mode. The script that 
unsets Edit mode looks like this:

RESPONSE.expireCookie('editMode', path='/')
RESPONSE.redirect(REQUEST.HTTP_REFERER)

Logout is different in my case because the cookie is set by 
exUserFolder. I put this in the logout script:

context.acl_users.logout(context.REQUEST)

I have no idea (now) why it works.
