I like to run 'exec unclutter' as the last program, and run the WM in
the background with the other startup programs. That way, I can
switch window managers if I like, while I try them all out and see
which one I like; or what features of each I like.
TkDesk makes an OK 'session manager'; when you press its quit button,
the X session ends.
