Which xwindows software are you using? Is it VNC?

I use GNOME, not VNC.
I want to know the same command as the menu button "System > Log Out root".

Thanks!

That's usually not a system command (at least on no platform that I know of), but a built-in of the Window Manager (in your case GNOME), telling it that it should end in a orderly manner. Some WMs do ship with a command line interface to access those commands, but there isn't a consistent interface.
