Log-Out/Log-In

In OS 9, frequent application problems often could be remedied by trashing
the app's prefs file. I'm inclined to believe that trashing .plist files in
OS X is not quite as effective a solution in OS X. But I have noticed that
logging out and then logging back in virtually always fixes the
performance/behavior problems I've been experiencing.
I understand how a corrupted prefs/.plist could cause problems, and trashing
it would lead to a "fix." But I don't understand what happens during a
log-out/log-in that can yield a "fix." What's going on, and what might it
tell me as far as diagnosing any underlying problems is concerned?
