I haven't used this extensioon so i can't help you there but I always use 
Typoscript if I require a logout on all pages.
Something along the lines of:
----
lib.logout = COA
lib.logout {
lib.logout {
   1 = TEXT
   1 {
     value = Login
     typolink.parameter = {$login_pid}
   }
}
[loginUser = *]
lib.logout {
   1 = TEXT
   1 {
     value = Logged in as&nbsp;
     dataWrap = | {TSFE:fe_user|user|username}
     typolink >
   }

   2 = FORM
   2 {
     type = {$login_pid}
     data = logintype|hidden|logout || |submit|Logout
     layout = ###FIELD###
   }
}
[end]
----
Which will display a link to the loginpage if not logged in and a status and 
logout button if a user is logged in.

Perhaps this can help you out?
