Logging out closes only the desktop environment you were using and the 
applications that were running in it. CTRL+ALT+BS kills X and the 
graphical login manager too, so it re-reads the xorg.conf file (if you 
have altered it, this is needed), reload video drivers (if you have 
updated it, this is needed) and reload the xdm/gdm/kdm configuration, 
among other things that are not done if you simply log out.
Also, of course and as you've said yourself, if you kill X then the 
running applications do not have the chance to quit gracefully and save 
their data.
