I'd like to figure out a way to label that red button as "Exit" or "log out Chat" or something like that.

I'm currently beta testing FlashChat 4.0, it becomes more apparent as a logout button (it now includes a mouseover X ). Also in my tests at least the staying logged in problem can be corrected if you edit your chat config file and select close window on exit as true. This will have a small pop-up come up which logs them out of chat on either logging out or closing the window. It saved me countless headaches .
